$A$ vehicle with a horn of frequency $n$ is moving with a velocity of $30\, m/s$ in a direction perpendicular to the straight line joining the observer and the vehicle. The observer perceives the sound to have a frequency $n + n_1$. Then (if the sound velocity in air is $300\, m/s$):

  • A
    $n_1 = 10\,n$
  • B
    $n_1 = 0$
  • C
    $n_1 = 0.1\,n$
  • D
    $n_1 = -0.1\,n$

$A$ 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 $\text{ kHz}$)

With what velocity an observer should move relative to a stationary source so that a sound of triple the frequency of source is heard by an observer?

An observer standing at a station observes a frequency of $219 \, Hz$ when a train approaches and $184 \, Hz$ when the train goes away from him. If the velocity of sound in air is $340 \, m/s$,then the velocity of the train and the actual frequency of the whistle will be:

The driver of a car travelling with a speed $V_1 \ m/s$ towards a wall sounds a siren of frequency $n \ Hz$. If the velocity of sound in air is $V \ m/s$,then the frequency of sound reflected from the wall and as heard by the driver,in $Hz$,is

$S_1$ and $S_2$ are two identical sound sources of frequency $656 \ Hz$. The source $S_1$ is located at $O$ and $S_2$ moves anti-clockwise with a uniform speed $4 \sqrt{2} \ ms^{-1}$ on a circular path around $O$,as shown in the figure. There are three points $P, Q$ and $R$ on this path such that $P$ and $R$ are diametrically opposite while $Q$ is equidistant from them. $A$ sound detector is placed at point $P$. The source $S_1$ can move along direction $OP$.
[Given: The speed of sound in air is $324 \ ms^{-1}$]
$(1)$ When only $S_2$ is emitting sound and it is at $Q$,the frequency of sound measured by the detector in $Hz$ is. . . . . .
$(2)$ Consider both sources emitting sound. When $S_2$ is at $R$ and $S_1$ approaches the detector with a speed $4 \ ms^{-1}$,the beat frequency measured by the detector is $\qquad$ $Hz$.
