$A$ car is moving towards a high cliff. The car driver sounds a horn of frequency $f$. The reflected sound heard by the driver has a frequency $2f$. If $v$ is the velocity of sound,then the velocity of the car,in the same velocity units,will be:

  • A
    $v/\sqrt{2}$
  • B
    $v/2$
  • C
    $v/3$
  • D
    $v/4$

With what velocity should an observer approach a stationary sound source,so that the apparent frequency of sound appears double the actual frequency? (Let $v$ be the velocity of sound).

$A$ stationary sound source $S$ of frequency $334 \, Hz$ and a stationary observer $O$ are placed near a reflecting surface moving away from the source with velocity $u = 2 \, m/s$ as shown in the figure. If the velocity of the sound waves in air is $V = 330 \, m/s$,the apparent frequency of the echo heard by the observer is ... $Hz$.

$A$ small source of sound vibrating at a frequency $500 Hz$ is rotated along a circle of radius $\frac{100}{\pi} cm$ at a constant angular speed of $5$ revolutions per second. The minimum and maximum frequency of the sound observed by a listener situated in the plane of the circle is (Speed of sound is $332 ms^{-1}$)

$A$ sound source is tied to one end of a string of length $50 \ cm$ and is rotated with an angular speed of $40 \ rad \ s^{-1}$ in a horizontal plane. The ratio of the maximum and minimum frequencies of the sound heard by an observer standing at a distance of $10 \ m$ from the fixed end of the string is (speed of sound in air $= 340 \ m \ s^{-1}$).

$A$ person driving a car at a constant speed of $15\,m/s$ is approaching a vertical wall. The person notices a change of $40\,Hz$ in the frequency of his car's horn upon reflection from the wall. The frequency of the horn is ............ $Hz$. (Given: Speed of sound: $330\,m/s$)
