An observer is moving towards a stationary source of sound. In this case:

$A$ submarine $(A)$ travelling at $18\, km/hr$ is being chased along the line of its velocity by another submarine $(B)$ travelling at $27\, km/hr$. $B$ sends a sonar signal of $500\, Hz$ to detect $A$ and receives a reflected sound of frequency $v$. The value of $v$ is close to ... $Hz$ (Speed of sound in water $= 1500\, ms^{-1}$)

Two sources $A$ and $B$ are producing notes of frequency $680 \,Hz$. $A$ listener moves from $A$ to $B$ with a constant velocity $v$. If the speed of sound in air is $340 \,ms^{-1}$, the value of $v$ so that he hears $10$ beats per second is: (in $\,ms^{-1}$)

$A$ stationary source is emitting sound at a fixed frequency $f_0$,which is reflected by two cars approaching the source. The difference between the frequencies of sound reflected from the cars is $1.2 \%$ of $f_0$. What is the difference in the speeds of the cars (in $km/h$) to the nearest integer? The cars are moving at constant speeds much smaller than the speed of sound,which is $330 \ m/s$.

Two trains move towards each other with the same speed. The speed of sound is $340 \; m/s$. If the pitch of the whistle of one train heard by an observer on the other train changes by a factor of $9/8$,then the speed of each train is ........... $m/s$.
