Two stationary sources each emit waves of wavelength $\lambda$. An observer moves from one source to the other with velocity $u$. The number of beats heard by the observer is:

  • A
    $\frac{u}{2\lambda}$
  • B
    $\frac{u}{\lambda}$
  • C
    $\frac{2u}{\lambda}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{u\lambda}$

$A$ source of sound $S$ is moving with a velocity of $50\,m/s$ towards a stationary observer. The observer measures the frequency of the sound as $1000\,Hz$. What will be the apparent frequency of the source when it is moving away from the observer after crossing him (in $,Hz$)? (Take the velocity of sound in air as $350\,m/s$)

An engine is moving on a circular path of radius $200 \,m$ with a speed of $15 \,m/s$. What will be the frequency heard by an observer who is at rest at the centre of the circular path,when the engine blows the whistle with a frequency of $250 \,Hz$?

$A$ source with a frequency of $90 \, \text{vibrations/sec}$ moves towards a stationary observer with a velocity of $1/10 \, V$, where $V$ is the speed of sound. What frequency will the observer hear in $\text{vibrations/sec}$?

$A$ 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 ..... $\text{cycles/sec}$.

$A$ source and a detector move away from each other in the absence of wind with a speed of $20 \, m/s$ with respect to the ground. If the detector detects a frequency of $1800 \, Hz$ of the sound coming from the source,then the original frequency of the source,considering the speed of sound in air to be $340 \, m/s$,will be (in $Hz$):
