$A$ whistle of frequency $500 \, Hz$ tied to the end of a string of length $1.2 \, m$ revolves at $400 \, rev/min$. $A$ listener standing some distance away in the plane of rotation of the whistle hears frequencies in the range (speed of sound $= 340 \, m/s$):

  • A
    $436 \, Hz$ to $586 \, Hz$
  • B
    $426 \, Hz$ to $574 \, Hz$
  • C
    $426 \, Hz$ to $584 \, Hz$
  • D
    $436 \, Hz$ to $674 \, Hz$

$A$ bus moving with a uniform speed of $72 \,km/h$ towards a building blows a horn of frequency $1.7 \,kHz$. If the speed of sound in air is $340 \,m/s$, what will be the frequency of the echo heard by the bus driver (in $\,kHz$)?

$A$ motorcyclist is approaching a large wall with a velocity of $90\,km/hr$. $A$ car is chasing him with a velocity of $108\,km/hr$. If the car sounds a horn at $30\,Hz,$ the beat frequency heard by the motorcyclist is . . . . . . $Hz$. Take the velocity of sound $= 330\,m/s$.

$A$ 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 $= 330 \,ms^{-1}$).

The source producing sound and an observer are both moving along the direction of propagation of sound waves. If the respective velocities of sound,source,and an observer are $v$,$v_s$,and $v_o$,then the apparent frequency heard by the observer will be ($n =$ frequency of sound).

$A$ bat is flitting about in a cave,navigating via ultrasonic beeps. Assume that the sound emission frequency of the bat is $40\; kHz$. During one fast swoop directly toward a flat wall surface,the bat is moving at $0.03$ times the speed of sound in air. What frequency (in $kHz$) does the bat hear reflected off the wall?
