$A$ sound source is moving in a circle and an observer is outside the circle at $O$ as shown in the figure. If the frequencies as heard by the listener are $\nu_1, \nu_2$ and $\nu_3$ when the source is at positions $A, B$ and $C$ respectively,then:

  • A
    $\nu_1 = \nu_2 > \nu_3$
  • B
    $\nu_2 > \nu_3 > \nu_1$
  • C
    $\nu_1 > \nu_2 > \nu_3$
  • D
    $\nu_1 > \nu_3 > \nu_2$

$A$ source of sound is travelling at $\frac{100}{3} \, m/s$ along a road,towards a point $A$. When the source is $3 \, m$ away from $A$,a person is standing at a point $O$ on a road perpendicular to the path of the source. The distance of $O$ from $A$ at that time is $4 \, m$. If the original frequency is $640 \, Hz$,then the apparent frequency heard by the person is ...... $Hz$ (speed of sound is $340 \, m/s$).

Two whistles $A$ and $B$ produce notes of frequencies $660 \ Hz$ and $596 \ Hz$ respectively. There is a listener at the mid-point of the line joining them. Now,the whistle $B$ and the listener start moving with a speed of $30 \ m/s$ away from the whistle $A$. If the speed of sound is $330 \ m/s$,how many beats will be heard by the listener?

$A$ police car horn emits a sound at a frequency $240 \text{ Hz}$ when the car is at rest. If the speed of sound is $330 \text{ m/s}$,the frequency heard by an observer who is approaching the car at a speed of $11 \text{ m/s}$ is ... $\text{ Hz}$.

The speed of sound in air at a given temperature is $350 \, m/s$. An engine blows a whistle at a frequency of $1200 \, cps$. It is approaching the observer with a velocity of $50 \, m/s$. The apparent frequency in $cps$ heard by the observer will be:
