An observer starts moving with uniform acceleration $a$ toward a stationary sound source emitting a whistle of frequency $n$. As the observer approaches the source,the apparent frequency $n'$ heard by the observer varies with time $t$ as:

Two whistles $A$ and $B$ each have a frequency of $500\,Hz$. $A$ is stationary and $B$ is moving towards the right (away from $A$) at a speed of $50\,m/s$. An observer is between the two whistles moving towards the right with a speed of $25\,m/s$. The velocity of sound in air is $350\,m/s$. Assume there is no wind. Then which of the following statements are true:

An engine whistling at a constant frequency $n_0$ and moving with a constant velocity goes past a stationary observer. As the engine crosses him,the frequency of the sound heard by him changes by a factor $f$. The actual difference in the frequencies of the sound heard by him before and after the engine crosses him is

$A$ car sounding a horn of frequency $1000 \text{ Hz}$ passes an observer. The ratio of frequencies noted by the observer before and after the car passes is $11:9$. If the speed of sound is $V$,what is the speed of the car?

With what speed should a sound source move towards an observer so that the observer hears half the original frequency $(v)$?
