The frequency changes by $10\%$ as a sound source approaches a stationary observer with constant speed $v_s$. What would be the percentage change in frequency as the source recedes from the observer with the same speed? (Given that $v_s < v$,where $v$ is the speed of sound in air)

  • A
    $14.3$
  • B
    $20$
  • C
    $10.0$
  • D
    $8.5$

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 $= 330 \,m/s$):

$A$ train standing at the outer signal of a railway station blows a whistle of frequency $400 \ Hz$ in still air. The train begins to move with a speed of $10 \ ms^{-1}$ towards the platform. What is the frequency of the sound for an observer standing on the platform (in $Hz$)? (Sound velocity in air $= 330 \ ms^{-1}$).

$A$ whistle producing sound waves of frequencies $9500 \ Hz$ and above is approaching a stationary person with speed $v \ ms^{-1}$. The velocity of sound in air is $300 \ ms^{-1}$. If the person can hear frequencies up to a maximum of $10,000 \ Hz$,the maximum value of $v$ up to which he can hear the whistle is ... $ms^{-1}$.

$A$ siren emitting sound of frequency $500 \; Hz$ is going away from a static listener with a speed of $50 \; m/s$. The frequency of sound heard by the listener is .... $Hz$. (Take speed of sound $v = 330 \; m/s$)

$A$ train moves towards a stationary observer with speed $34\, m/s$. The train sounds a whistle and its frequency registered by the observer is $f_1$. If the speed of the train is reduced to $17\, m/s$,the frequency registered is $f_2$. If the speed of sound is $340\, m/s$,then the ratio $f_1/f_2$ is
