$A$ bat flies at a steady speed of $4 \,ms^{-1}$ emitting a sound of $f = 90 \times 10^{3} \,Hz$. It is flying horizontally towards a vertical wall. The frequency of the reflected sound as detected by the bat will be (take velocity of sound in air is $330 \,ms^{-1}$)

  • A
    $88.1 \times 10^{3} \,Hz$
  • B
    $87.1 \times 10^{3} \,Hz$
  • C
    $92.1 \times 10^{3} \,Hz$
  • D
    $89.1 \times 10^{3} \,Hz$

The driver of a car travelling with speed $30 \ m/s$ towards a hill sounds a horn of frequency $600 \ Hz$. If the velocity of sound in air is $330 \ m/s$,the frequency of the reflected sound as heard by the driver is .... $Hz$

An engine moving away from a vertical cliff blows a horn at a frequency $f$. Its speed is $0.5 \%$ of the speed of sound in air. The frequency of the reflected sound received at the engine is ............ $f$.

$A$ bat is flitting about in a cave,navigating via ultrasonic beeps. Assume that the sound emission frequency of the bat is $40\; kHz$. During one fast swoop directly toward a flat wall surface,the bat is moving at $0.03$ times the speed of sound in air. What frequency (in $kHz$) does the bat hear reflected off the wall?

$Assertion :$ The Doppler formula for sound waves is symmetric with respect to the speed of the source and the speed of the observer.
$Reason :$ The motion of a source with respect to a stationary observer is not equivalent to the motion of an observer with respect to a stationary source.

Match Column-$A$ with Column-$B$.
Column-$A$Column-$B$
$(a)$ When source of sound and listener move towards wall.$(i)$ Listener would hear a sound with same frequency as that of source.
$(b)$ When source of sound and listener move away from each other.$(ii)$ Listener would hear a sound with frequency smaller than that of source.
$(iii)$ Frequency of echo would be greater than that of source.
