The frequency of a whistle of an engine is $600 \, Hz$ and it is moving with a speed of $30 \, m/s$ towards a stationary observer. The apparent frequency heard by the observer will be .... $Hz$ (velocity of sound $= 330 \, m/s$).

Which pre-assumptions are used for the Doppler effect?

$A$ train approaching a railway crossing at a speed of $120 \ km/h$ sounds a whistle of frequency $576 \ Hz$,when it is $288 \ m$ away from the crossing. The frequency heard by an observer standing on the road perpendicular to the track at a distance of $384 \ m$ from the crossing is (Speed of sound in air $= 340 \ m/s$): (in $Hz$)

$A$ sound source is moving on a circular path of radius $R$ with constant angular speed $\omega$ in an anticlockwise direction and emits a frequency $n$. An observer performs simple harmonic motion along the path $QPR$ with time period $T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega}$ as shown in the figure. If at $t = 0$ the source is at $A$ and the observer is at $Q$,and assuming $OP$ is very large compared to the radius $R$ and $QP$,then:
