$A$ table is revolving on its axis at $5$ revolutions per second. $A$ sound source of frequency $1000 \text{ Hz}$ is fixed on the table at $70 \text{ cm}$ from the axis. The minimum frequency heard by a listener standing at a distance from the table will be .... $\text{ Hz}$ (speed of sound $= 352 \text{ m/s}$)

Two whistles $A$ and $B$ each have a frequency of $500\,Hz$. $A$ is stationary and $B$ is moving towards the right (away from $A$) at a speed of $50\,m/s$. An observer is between the two whistles moving towards the right with a speed of $25\,m/s$. The velocity of sound in air is $350\,m/s$. Assume there is no wind. Then which of the following statements are true:

$A$ man is watching two trains,one leaving and the other coming with an equal speed of $4\,m/s$. If they sound their whistles each of frequency $240\,Hz$,the number of beats per second heard by the man will be equal to: (velocity of sound in air $= 320\,m/s$)

$A$ whistle of frequency $540 Hz$ rotates in a horizontal circle of radius $2 m$ at an angular speed of $15 rad/s$. What is the highest frequency heard by a listener at rest with respect to the center of the circle (in $Hz$)? (Velocity of sound in air $= 330 m/s$)

Consider the Doppler effect in two cases. In the first case,an observer moves towards a stationary source of sound with a speed of $50 \,m/s$. In the second case,the observer is at rest and the source moves towards the observer with the same speed of $50 \,m/s$. Then the frequency heard by the observer will be [velocity of sound in air $= 330 \,m/s$.]
