An observer is standing $500 \,m$ away from a vertical hill. Starting between the observer and the hill, a police van sounding a siren of frequency $1000 \,Hz$ moves towards the hill with a uniform speed. If the frequency of the sound heard directly from the siren is $970 \,Hz$, the frequency of the sound heard after reflection from the hill (in $Hz$) is about, (velocity of sound $= 330 \,m/s$):

  • A
    $1042$
  • B
    $1032$
  • C
    $1022$
  • D
    $1012$

When the source of sound moves away from a stationary listener,we obtain $f_{L} < f_{S}$. Why?

$A$ 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?

$A$ train blowing the whistle moves with a constant velocity $V$ away from an observer standing on the platform. The ratio of the natural frequency of the whistle $n$ to the apparent frequency is $1.2: 1$. If the train is at rest and the observer moves away from it at the same velocity $V$,the ratio of $n$ to the apparent frequency is (in $: 1$)

$A$ source with frequency $f$ and an observer are moving towards each other with a velocity of $V/10$. The frequency heard by the observer will be ............ $f$. (The velocity of sound in air is $V \, m/s$.)

$A$ source of sound of frequency $450 \text{ cycles/sec}$ is moving towards a stationary observer with $34 \text{ m/sec}$ speed. If the speed of sound is $340 \text{ m/sec}$,then the apparent frequency will be ..... $\text{cycles/sec}$.
