Two trains are moving towards each other at speeds of $20 \, m/s$ and $15 \, m/s$ relative to the ground. The first train sounds a whistle of frequency $600 \, Hz$. The frequency of the whistle heard by a passenger in the second train before the trains meet is ...... $Hz$ (the speed of sound in air is $340 \, m/s$).

Two men are walking along a horizontal straight line in the same direction. The man in front walks at a speed of $1.0 \,m \,s^{-1}$ and the man behind walks at a speed of $2.0 \,m \,s^{-1}$. $A$ third man is standing at a height of $12 \,m$ above the same horizontal line such that all three men are in a vertical plane. The two walking men are blowing identical whistles which emit a sound of frequency $1430 \,Hz$. The speed of sound in air is $330 \,m \,s^{-1}$. At the instant when the moving men are $10 \,m$ apart,the stationary man is equidistant from them. The frequency of beats in $Hz$ heard by the stationary man at this instant is:

$A$ vibrating tuning fork is moving slowly and uniformly in a horizontal circular path of radius $8 \, m$. The shortest distance of an observer in the same plane from the tuning fork is $9 \, m$. The distance between the tuning fork and the observer at the instant when the apparent frequency becomes maximum is ......... $m$.

Two trains,one coming towards and another going away from an observer,both at $4 \; m/s$,produce a whistle simultaneously of frequency $300 \; Hz$. Find the number of beats produced. (Assume the speed of sound $v = 332 \; m/s$)

$A$ train is moving towards a stationary observer. Which of the following curves best represents the frequency $f$ received by the observer as a function of time $t$?

$A$ train blowing the whistle moves with a constant velocity $V$ away from an observer standing on the platform. The ratio of the natural frequency of the whistle $n$ to the apparent frequency is $1.2: 1$. If the train is at rest and the observer moves away from it at the same velocity $V$,the ratio of $n$ to the apparent frequency is (in $: 1$)
