$A$ police car with a siren of frequency $8 \ kHz$ is moving with uniform velocity $36 \ km/h$ towards a tall building which reflects the sound waves. The speed of sound in air is $320 \ m/s$. The frequency of the siren heard by the car driver is (in $kHz$)

When the observer moves towards the stationary source with velocity $V_1$,the apparent frequency of the emitted note is $F_1$. When the observer moves away from the source with velocity $V_1$,the apparent frequency is $F_2$. If $V$ is the velocity of sound in air and $\frac{F_1}{F_2}=2$,then $\frac{V}{V_1}=?$

$A$ source emits a sound of frequency $400 \ Hz$,but the listener hears it to be $390 \ Hz$. Then:

When a train is approaching a stationary observer,the apparent frequency of the whistle of the train is $n_1$,and when the train is moving away from the observer,the apparent frequency is $n_2$. The frequency of the whistle noticed by the observer when he moves with the train is . . . . . . .

$A$ train,standing in a station-yard,blows a whistle of frequency $400\; Hz$ in still air. The wind starts blowing in the direction from the yard to the station with a speed of $10\; m s^{-1}$. What are the frequency,wavelength,and speed of sound for an observer standing on the station's platform? Is the situation exactly identical to the case when the air is still and the observer runs towards the yard at a speed of $10\; m s^{-1}$? The speed of sound in still air can be taken as $340\; m s^{-1}$.
