$A$ train standing at the outer signal of a railway station blows a whistle of frequency $400 \ Hz$ in still air. The train begins to move with a speed of $10 \ ms^{-1}$ towards the platform. What is the frequency of the sound for an observer standing on the platform (in $Hz$)? (Sound velocity in air $= 330 \ ms^{-1}$).

  • A
    $400$
  • B
    $412.5$
  • C
    $387.5$

The frequency of a whistle of an engine is $600 \, Hz$ and it is moving with a speed of $30 \, m/s$ towards a stationary observer. The apparent frequency heard by the observer will be .... $Hz$ (velocity of sound $= 330 \, m/s$).

$A$ source of sound whose frequency is $1000 \text{ Hz}$ is moving with a speed of $33 \text{ m/s}$. The waves reflected by a fixed obstacle are registered by a receiver that moves together with the source. If the speed of the sound waves is $330 \text{ m/s}$, then the frequency registered by the receiver is: (in $\text{ kHz}$)

$A$ train blowing its whistle moves with constant speed on a straight track towards an observer and then crosses him. If the ratio of the difference between the actual and apparent frequencies is $3:2$ in the two cases (approaching and receding),then the speed of the train is (where $v$ is the speed of sound).

$A$ 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:
