When the listener moves towards a stationary source with velocity $V_1$,the apparent frequency of the emitted note is $F_1$. When the observer moves away from the source with velocity $V_1$,the apparent frequency is $F_2$. If $V$ is the velocity of sound in air and $\frac{F_1}{F_2} = 2$,then find the ratio $\frac{V}{V_1}$.

An obstacle is moving towards the source with velocity $v$. The sound is reflected from the obstacle. If $c$ is the speed of sound and $\lambda$ is the wavelength,then the wavelength of the reflected wave $(\lambda_{r})$ is

$A$ source and an observer are moving towards each other with a speed equal to $\frac{v}{2}$,where $v$ is the speed of sound. The source is emitting sound of frequency $n$. The frequency heard by the observer will be

Two trains $A$ and $B$ are moving with speeds $20 \ m/s$ and $30 \ m/s$ respectively in the same direction on the same straight track,with $B$ ahead of $A$. The engines are at the front ends. The engine of train $A$ blows a long whistle. Assume that the sound of the whistle is composed of components varying in frequency from $f_1=800 \ Hz$ to $f_2=1120 \ Hz$,as shown in the figure. The spread in the frequency (highest frequency - lowest frequency) is thus $320 \ Hz$. The speed of sound in still air is $340 \ m/s$.

Give the answer for question $1, 2$ and $3$.

$A$ train standing at the outer signal of a railway station blows a whistle of frequency $400\, Hz$ in still air. What is the frequency of the whistle for a platform observer when the train recedes from the platform with a speed of $10\, m/s$? (Speed of sound $= 340\, m/s$)

View Solution

Two passenger trains moving with a speed of $108\, km/h$ cross each other. One of them blows a whistle whose frequency is $750\, Hz$. If the speed of sound is $330\, m/s$,then the passengers sitting in the other train,after the trains cross each other,will hear a sound whose frequency is .... $Hz$.
