$A$ source of sound emits waves with frequency $f \, Hz$ and speed $V \, m/s$. Two observers move away from this source in opposite directions,each with a speed $0.2V$ relative to the source. The ratio of frequencies heard by the two observers will be

  • A
    $3:2$
  • B
    $2:3$
  • C
    $1:1$
  • D
    $4:10$

$A$ car moving towards a wall at a velocity of $72 \,km/hr$ sounds a horn of frequency $124 \,vib/sec$. What frequency will the driver hear? (Speed of sound in air = $330 \,ms^{-1}$)

$A$ train,standing in a station-yard,blows a whistle of frequency $400\; Hz$ in still air. The wind starts blowing in the direction from the yard to the station with a speed of $10\; m s^{-1}$. What are the frequency,wavelength,and speed of sound for an observer standing on the station's platform? Is the situation exactly identical to the case when the air is still and the observer runs towards the yard at a speed of $10\; m s^{-1}$? The speed of sound in still air can be taken as $340\; m s^{-1}$.

$A$ source of frequency $150 \, Hz$ is moving in the direction of a person with a velocity of $110 \, m/s$. The frequency heard by the person will be .... $Hz$ (speed of sound in medium $= 330 \, m/s$)

$A$ 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:
