Two cars are approaching each other at an equal speed of $7.2\, km/hr$. When they see each other,both blow horns having a frequency of $676\, Hz$. The beat frequency heard by each driver will be $.....\, Hz$. [Velocity of sound in air is $340\, m/s$.]

What is the Doppler effect? Write its example and explain how its analysis can be performed.

An observer moves towards a stationary source of sound with a velocity of one-fifth of the velocity of sound. The percentage increase in the apparent frequency is (in $\%$)

$A$ man is watching two trains,one leaving and the other coming with an equal speed of $4\,m/s$. If they sound their whistles each of frequency $240\,Hz$,the number of beats per second heard by the man will be equal to: (velocity of sound in air $= 320\,m/s$)

When the observer moves towards a stationary source with velocity $V_1$,the apparent frequency of the emitted note is $F_1$. When the observer moves away from the source with velocity $V_1$,the apparent frequency is $F_2$. If $V$ is the velocity of sound in air and $F_1 / F_2 = 2$,then $V / V_1$ is equal to:
