An obstacle is moving towards the source with velocity $v$. The sound is reflected from the obstacle. If $c$ is the speed of sound and $\lambda$ is the wavelength,then the wavelength of the reflected wave $(\lambda_{r})$ is

$A$ source and an observer approach each other with the same velocity $50 \, m/s$. If the apparent frequency is $435 \, s^{-1}$,then the real frequency is .... $s^{-1}$ (Take speed of sound $v = 332 \, m/s$)

An observer is moving away from a source of sound of frequency $100 \, Hz$. His speed is $33 \, m/s$. If the speed of sound is $330 \, m/s$,then the observed frequency is .... $Hz$.

Two trains $A$ and $B$ are moving with speeds $20 \ m/s$ and $30 \ m/s$ respectively in the same direction on the same straight track,with $B$ ahead of $A$. The engines are at the front ends. The engine of train $A$ blows a long whistle. Assume that the sound of the whistle is composed of components varying in frequency from $f_1=800 \ Hz$ to $f_2=1120 \ Hz$,as shown in the figure. The spread in the frequency (highest frequency - lowest frequency) is thus $320 \ Hz$. The speed of sound in still air is $340 \ m/s$.
