  • A
    $2.8$
  • B
    $2$
  • C

$A$ source of sound of frequency $450 \text{ cycles/sec}$ is moving towards a stationary observer with $34 \text{ m/sec}$ speed. If the speed of sound is $340 \text{ m/sec}$,then the apparent frequency will be ..... $\text{cycles/sec}$.

Two loudspeakers $M$ and $N$ are located $20 \ m$ apart and emit sound at frequencies $118 \ Hz$ and $121 \ Hz$,respectively. $A$ car is initially at a point $P$,$1800 \ m$ away from the midpoint $Q$ of the line $MN$ and moves towards $Q$ constantly at $60 \ km/h$ along the perpendicular bisector of $MN$. It crosses $Q$ and eventually reaches a point $R$,$1800 \ m$ away from $Q$. Let $v(t)$ represent the beat frequency measured by a person sitting in the car at time $t$. Let $v_P, v_Q$ and $v_R$ be the beat frequencies measured at locations $P, Q$ and $R$,respectively. The speed of sound in air is $330 \ m/s$. Which of the following statement$(s)$ is(are) true regarding the sound heard by the person?
$(A)$ $v_P + v_R = 2v_Q$
$(B)$ The rate of change in beat frequency is maximum when the car passes through $Q$
$(C)$ The plot below represents schematically the variation of beat frequency with time (Left plot)
$(D)$ The plot below represents schematically the variation of beat frequency with time (Right plot)

$A$ car is moving towards a high cliff. The car driver sounds a horn of frequency $f$. The reflected sound heard by the driver has a frequency $2f$. If $v$ is the velocity of sound,then the velocity of the car,in the same velocity units,will be:
