Two sources $A$ and $B$ are producing notes of frequency $680 \,Hz$. $A$ listener moves from $A$ to $B$ with a constant velocity $v$. If the speed of sound in air is $340 \,ms^{-1}$, the value of $v$ so that he hears $10$ beats per second is: (in $\,ms^{-1}$)

  • A
    $2.0$
  • B
    $2.5$
  • C
    $3.0$
  • D

$A$ sound source,emitting sound of constant frequency,moves with a constant speed and crosses a stationary observer. The frequency $(n)$ of sound heard by the observer is plotted against time $(t)$. Which of the following graphs represents the correct variation?

$S_1$ and $S_2$ are two identical sound sources of frequency $656 \ Hz$. The source $S_1$ is located at $O$ and $S_2$ moves anti-clockwise with a uniform speed $4 \sqrt{2} \ ms^{-1}$ on a circular path around $O$,as shown in the figure. There are three points $P, Q$ and $R$ on this path such that $P$ and $R$ are diametrically opposite while $Q$ is equidistant from them. $A$ sound detector is placed at point $P$. The source $S_1$ can move along direction $OP$.
[Given: The speed of sound in air is $324 \ ms^{-1}$]
$(1)$ When only $S_2$ is emitting sound and it is at $Q$,the frequency of sound measured by the detector in $Hz$ is. . . . . .
$(2)$ Consider both sources emitting sound. When $S_2$ is at $R$ and $S_1$ approaches the detector with a speed $4 \ ms^{-1}$,the beat frequency measured by the detector is $\qquad$ $Hz$.

An observer is riding on a bicycle and moving towards a hill at $18\,km\,h^{-1}$. He hears a sound from a source at some distance behind him directly as well as after its reflection from the hill. If the original frequency of the sound as emitted by the source is $640\,Hz$ and the velocity of sound in air is $320\,m/s$,the beat frequency between the two sounds heard by the observer will be $...Hz$.

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 $= 330 \,m/s$):

$A$ small source of sound moves on a circle as shown in the figure and an observer is standing at $O.$ Let $n_1, n_2$ and $n_3$ be the frequencies heard when the source is at $A, B$ and $C$ respectively. Then
