When the listener moves towards a stationary source with velocity $V_1$,the apparent frequency of the emitted note is $F_1$. When the observer moves away from the source with velocity $V_1$,the apparent frequency is $F_2$. If $V$ is the velocity of sound in air and $\frac{F_1}{F_2} = 2$,then find the ratio $\frac{V}{V_1}$.

When the observer moves towards a stationary source with velocity $V_1$,the apparent frequency of the emitted note is $F_1$. When the observer moves away from the source with velocity $V_1$,the apparent frequency is $F_2$. If $V$ is the velocity of sound in air and $F_1 / F_2 = 2$,then $V / V_1$ is equal to:

Two cars moving in opposite directions approach each other with speeds of $22 \, m s^{-1}$ and $16.5 \, m s^{-1}$ respectively. The driver of the first car blows a horn having a frequency of $400 \, Hz$. The frequency heard by the driver of the second car is ..... $Hz$ (velocity of sound is $340 \, m s^{-1}$)

$A$ policeman on duty detects a drop of $10 \%$ in the pitch of the horn of a moving car as it crosses him. If the velocity of sound is $330 \, m/s$,calculate the speed of the car in $m/s$.

$A$ highway truck has two horns $A$ and $B$. When sounded together, the driver records $50$ beats in $10$ seconds. With horn $B$ blowing and the truck moving towards a wall at a speed of $10 \,m/s$, the driver notices a beat frequency of $5 \,Hz$ with the echo. When the frequency of $A$ is decreased, the beat frequency with the two horns sounded together increases. Calculate the frequency of horn $A$. (Speed of sound in air $= 330 \,m/s$) (in $\,Hz$)

$A$ speeding motorcyclist sees a traffic jam ahead. He slows down to $36\, km\, h^{-1}$. He finds that the traffic has eased and a car moving ahead of him at $18\, km\, h^{-1}$ is honking at a frequency of $1392\, Hz$. If the speed of sound is $343\, m s^{-1}$,the frequency of the honk as heard by him will be .... $Hz$.
