$A$ car $P$ approaching a crossing at a speed of $10 \, m/s$ sounds a horn of frequency $700 \, Hz$ when $40 \, m$ in front of the crossing. The speed of sound in air is $340 \, m/s$. Another car $Q$ is at rest on a road which is perpendicular to the road on which car $P$ is reaching the crossing. The driver of car $Q$ hears the sound of the horn of car $P$ when he is $30 \, m$ in front of the crossing. The apparent frequency heard by the driver of car $Q$ is ..... $Hz$.

When the source of sound moves towards a stationary observer,the wavelength of sound received by him

$A$ bus is moving with a velocity of $5 \ m/s$ towards a huge wall. The driver sounds a horn of frequency $165 \ Hz$. If the speed of sound in air is $355 \ m/s$,the number of beats heard per second by a passenger on the bus will be:

$A$ train $S_1$,moving with a uniform velocity of $108 \ km/h$,approaches another train $S_2$ standing on a platform. An observer $O$ moves with a uniform velocity of $36 \ km/h$ towards $S_2$,as shown in the figure. Both the trains are blowing whistles of the same frequency $120 \ Hz$. When $O$ is $600 \ m$ away from $S_2$ and the distance between $S_1$ and $S_2$ is $800 \ m$,the number of beats heard by $O$ is: [Speed of sound $= 330 \ m/s$]

$A$ car sounding a horn of frequency $1000 \,Hz$ passes a stationary observer. The ratio of frequencies of the horn noted by the observer before and after passing of the car is $11:9$. The speed of the car is (Speed of sound $v = 340 \,ms^{-1}$) (in $\,ms^{-1}$)
