Two persons $A$ and $B$, each carrying a source of sound of frequency $n$, are standing a few metres apart in a quiet field. $A$ starts moving towards $B$ with a speed $u$. If $v$ is the speed of sound, the number of beats heard per second by $A$ will be

  • A
    $\frac{nu}{v}$
  • B
    $\frac{2nu}{v}$
  • C
    $\frac{nu}{v+u}$
  • D
    $\frac{nu}{v-u}$

$A$ 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

$A$ man standing on a platform observes that the frequency of the sound of a whistle emitted by a train drops by $140 \, Hz$. If the velocity of sound in air is $330 \, m/s$ and the speed of the train is $70 \, m/s$,the frequency of the whistle is .......... $Hz$.

$A$ source and an observer move away from each other with a velocity of $10\; m/s$ with respect to the ground. If the observer finds the frequency of sound coming from the source as $1950\; Hz$,then the actual frequency of the source is .... $Hz$ (velocity of sound in air = $340\; m/s$).

$A$ 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 $S_1$,moving with a uniform velocity of $108 \ km/h$,approaches another train $S_2$ standing on a platform. An observer $O$ moves with a uniform velocity of $36 \ km/h$ towards $S_2$,as shown in the figure. Both the trains are blowing whistles of the same frequency $120 \ Hz$. When $O$ is $600 \ m$ away from $S_2$ and the distance between $S_1$ and $S_2$ is $800 \ m$,the number of beats heard by $O$ is: [Speed of sound $= 330 \ m/s$]
