$A$ source of sound emits a sound wave of frequency '$f$' and moves towards an observer with a velocity $\frac{V}{3}$,where $V$ is the velocity of sound. If the observer moves away from the source with a velocity $\frac{V}{5}$,the apparent frequency heard by him will be:

  • A
    $\frac{15}{8} f$
  • B
    $\frac{8}{15} f$
  • C
    $\frac{6}{5} f$
  • D
    $\frac{15}{18} f$

$A$ source of sound emits sound waves at frequency $f_0$. It is moving towards an observer with fixed speed $v_s$ ($v_s < v$,where $v$ is the speed of sound in air). If the observer were to move towards the source with speed $v_0$,the variation of the frequency $f$ heard by the observer as $v_0$ is changed is given by one of the following two graphs ($A$ and $B$). The variation of $f$ with $v_0$ is given correctly by:

An observer is moving away from a source of sound of frequency $100 \, Hz$. His speed is $33 \, m/s$. If the speed of sound is $330 \, m/s$,then the observed frequency is .... $Hz$.

The frequency changes by $10\%$ as a sound source approaches a stationary observer with constant speed $v_s$. What would be the percentage change in frequency as the source recedes from the observer with the same speed? (Given that $v_s < v$,where $v$ is the speed of sound in air)

$A$ vehicle sounding a whistle of frequency $256 \,Hz$ is moving on a straight road towards a hill with a velocity of $10 \,ms^{-1}$. The number of beats per second observed by a person travelling in the vehicle is (velocity of sound $= 330 \,ms^{-1}$).

$A$ bat moving at $10\,ms^{-1}$ towards a wall sends a sound signal of $8000\,Hz$ towards it. On reflection it hears a sound of frequency $f$. The value of $f$ in $Hz$ is close to (speed of sound $= 320\,ms^{-1}$)
