$A$ train moving towards a hill at a speed of $72\ km/hr$ sounds a whistle of frequency $500\ Hz$. $A$ wind is blowing from the hill at a speed of $36\ km/hr$. If the speed of sound in air is $340\ m/s$,the frequency heard by a man on the hill (nearly) is ... $Hz$

$A$ highway truck has two horns $A$ and $B$. When sounded together, the driver records $50$ beats in $10$ seconds. With horn $B$ blowing and the truck moving towards a wall at a speed of $10 \,m/s$, the driver notices a beat frequency of $5 \,Hz$ with the echo. When the frequency of $A$ is decreased, the beat frequency with the two horns sounded together increases. Calculate the frequency of horn $A$. (Speed of sound in air $= 330 \,m/s$) (in $\,Hz$)

$A$ train is moving with a uniform speed $33 \ m/s$ and an observer is approaching the train with the same speed. If the train blows a whistle of frequency $1000 \ Hz$ and the velocity of sound is $333 \ m/s$, then the apparent frequency of the sound that the observer hears is: (in $Hz$)

$A$ 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 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
