$A$ source and a detector move away from each other in the absence of wind with a speed of $20 \, m/s$ with respect to the ground. If the detector detects a frequency of $1800 \, Hz$ of the sound coming from the source,then the original frequency of the source,considering the speed of sound in air to be $340 \, m/s$,will be (in $Hz$):

  • A
    $1050$
  • B
    $750$
  • C
    $2025$
  • D
    $2250$

Two loudspeakers $M$ and $N$ are located $20 \ m$ apart and emit sound at frequencies $118 \ Hz$ and $121 \ Hz$,respectively. $A$ car is initially at a point $P$,$1800 \ m$ away from the midpoint $Q$ of the line $MN$ and moves towards $Q$ constantly at $60 \ km/h$ along the perpendicular bisector of $MN$. It crosses $Q$ and eventually reaches a point $R$,$1800 \ m$ away from $Q$. Let $v(t)$ represent the beat frequency measured by a person sitting in the car at time $t$. Let $v_P, v_Q$ and $v_R$ be the beat frequencies measured at locations $P, Q$ and $R$,respectively. The speed of sound in air is $330 \ m/s$. Which of the following statement$(s)$ is(are) true regarding the sound heard by the person?
$(A)$ $v_P + v_R = 2v_Q$
$(B)$ The rate of change in beat frequency is maximum when the car passes through $Q$
$(C)$ The plot below represents schematically the variation of beat frequency with time (Left plot)
$(D)$ The plot below represents schematically the variation of beat frequency with time (Right plot)

The difference between the apparent frequency of a source of sound as perceived by an observer during its approach and recession is $2\%$ of the natural frequency of the source. If the velocity of sound in air is $300 \, m/s$,the velocity of the source is ... $m/s$ (Given that velocity of source < velocity of sound).

$A$ sound wave of frequency $\nu$ travels horizontally to the right. It is reflected from a large vertical plane surface moving to the left with a speed $v$. The speed of sound in the medium is $c$. Then:

Which pre-assumptions are used for the Doppler effect?

The velocity of sound is $340 \,m/s$. $A$ source of sound having a frequency of $90 \,Hz$ is moving towards a stationary observer with a speed of one-tenth that of sound. The apparent frequency of sound as heard by the observer is: (in $\,Hz$)
