$A$ stationary source emits sound of frequency $f_0 = 492 \,Hz$. The sound is reflected by a large car approaching the source with a speed of $v_c = 2 \,ms^{-1}$. The reflected signal is received by the source and superposed with the original. What will be the beat frequency of the resulting signal in $Hz$? (Given that the speed of sound in air is $v = 330 \,ms^{-1}$ and the car reflects the sound at the frequency it has received).

    $4$
  • B
    $5$
  • C
    $7$
  • D

When a car is approaching the observer,the frequency of the horn is $100 \, Hz$. After passing the observer,it is $50 \, Hz$. If the observer moves with the car,the frequency will be $\frac{x}{3} \, Hz$ where $x = .....$

What should be the velocity of a sound source moving towards a stationary observer so that the apparent frequency is double the actual frequency? (Velocity of sound is $v$)

Two sources $A$ and $B$ are sending notes of frequency $680 \ Hz$. $A$ listener moves from $A$ towards $B$ with a constant velocity $u$. If the speed of sound in air is $340 \ ms^{-1}$, what must be the value of $u$ so that he hears $10$ beats per second (in $ms^{-1}$)?

At what speed should a source of sound move so that the observer finds the apparent frequency equal to half the original frequency?

$A$ car sounding a horn of frequency $1000 \text{ Hz}$ passes an observer. The ratio of frequencies noted by the observer before and after the car passes is $11:9$. If the speed of sound is $V$,what is the speed of the car?
