  • A
    Velocity of sound towards the source
  • B
    Velocity of sound away from the source
  • C
    Half the velocity of sound towards the source
  • D

$A$ stationary source emits sound waves of frequency $500\, Hz$. Two observers moving along a line passing through the source detect sound to be of frequencies $480\, Hz$ and $530\, Hz$. Their respective speeds are,in $m\,s^{-1}$ (Given speed of sound $= 300\, m/s$)

$A$ source of sound of frequency $90 \text{ vibrations/sec}$ is approaching a stationary observer with a speed equal to $1/10$ the speed of sound. What will be the frequency heard by the observer in $\text{vibrations/sec}$?

$A$ source of sound $S$ in the form of a block kept on a smooth horizontal surface is connected to a spring, as shown in the figure. If the spring oscillates with an amplitude of $50 \,cm$ along the horizontal between the wall and the observer $O$, the maximum frequency heard by the observer is $12.5 \%$ more than the minimum frequency heard by him. If the mass of the source of sound is $100 \,g$, the force constant of the spring is (Speed of sound in air is $340 \,ms^{-1}$) (in $\,N m^{-1}$)
