$A$ bus driving along at $39.6 \,km/h$ is approaching a person who is standing at the bus stop,while honking repeatedly at an interval of $30 \,s$. If the speed of sound is $330 \,ms^{-1}$,at what interval will the person hear the horn?

  • A
    $31 \,s$
  • B
    $29 \,s$
  • C
    $30 \,s$
  • D
    The interval will depend on the distance of the bus from the passenger

$A$ car moving towards a wall at a velocity of $72 \,km/hr$ sounds a horn of frequency $124 \,vib/sec$. What frequency will the driver hear? (Speed of sound in air = $330 \,ms^{-1}$)

$A$ car $P$ travelling at $20\,ms^{-1}$ sounds its horn at a frequency of $400\,Hz$. Another car $Q$ is travelling behind the first car in the same direction with a velocity $40\,ms^{-1}$. The frequency heard by the passenger of the car $Q$ is approximately $.......\,Hz$. [Take,velocity of sound $= 360\,ms^{-1}$]

When a source of sound crosses a stationary observer,the change in apparent frequency of sound observed by the observer,when $V_s << V$,will be -

With what velocity an observer should move relative to a stationary source so that a sound of double the frequency of the source is heard by the observer?
