Two trucks heading in opposite directions, each with a speed of $0.1 u$, approach each other. The speed of sound is $u$. The driver of the first truck sounds his horn with a frequency of $495 \,Hz$. Let $v_1$ and $v_2$ be the frequencies heard by the driver of the second truck when the trucks are approaching each other and when the trucks have passed each other, respectively. The magnitude of $v_1 - v_2$ is (in $\,Hz$)

  • A

  • B
    $200$
  • C
    $220$
  • D

$A$ 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

$A$ whistle emitting a loud sound of frequency $540 \,Hz$ is whirled in a horizontal circle of radius $2 \,m$ at a constant angular speed of $15 \,rad/s$. The speed of sound is $330 \,m/s$. The ratio of the highest to the lowest frequency heard by a listener standing at rest at a large distance from the centre of the circle is

Two vehicles,each moving with speed $u$ on the same horizontal straight road,are approaching each other. Wind blows along the road with velocity $w$. One of these vehicles blows a whistle of frequency $f_1$. An observer in the other vehicle hears the frequency of the whistle to be $f_2$. The speed of sound in still air is $V$. The correct statement$(s)$ is (are) :
$(A)$ If the wind blows from the observer to the source,$f_2 > f_1$.
$(B)$ If the wind blows from the source to the observer,$f_2 > f_1$.
$(C)$ If the wind blows from the observer to the source,$f_2 < f_1$.
$(D)$ If the wind blows from the source to the observer,$f_2 < f_1$.

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 $\,ms^{-1}$)
