$A$ source of sound of frequency $n$ is moving towards a stationary observer with a speed $S$. If the speed of sound in air is $V$ and the frequency heard by the observer is $n_1$,the value of $n_1/n$ is

  • A
    $(V + S)/V$
  • B
    $V/(V + S)$
  • C
    $(V - S)/V$
  • D
    $V/(V - S)$

$A$ source of sound is moving towards a stationary observer with velocity $V_s$ and then moves away with velocity $V_s$. Assume that the medium through which the sound waves travel is at rest. If $V$ is the velocity of sound and $n$ is the frequency emitted by the source, then the difference between the apparent frequencies heard by the observer is:

$A$ vehicle sounding a whistle of frequency $256 \,Hz$ is moving on a straight road towards a hill with a velocity of $10 \,ms^{-1}$. The number of beats per second observed by a person travelling in the vehicle is (velocity of sound $= 330 \,ms^{-1}$).

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 $340\, m/s$.]

$A$ train whistling at a constant frequency $n_0$ is moving towards a station at a constant speed $v$. The train passes a stationary observer on the station. The frequency $n$ of the sound as heard by the observer is plotted as a function of time $t$. Identify the expected curve.
