$A$ police car with a siren of frequency $8 \ kHz$ is moving with uniform velocity $36 \ km/h$ towards a tall building which reflects the sound waves. The speed of sound in air is $320 \ m/s$. The frequency of the siren heard by the car driver is (in $kHz$)

$A$ source of sound emitting a note of frequency $200 Hz$ moves towards an observer with a velocity $v$ equal to the velocity of sound. If the observer also moves away from the source with the same velocity $v$,the apparent frequency heard by the observer is .... $Hz$

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:
