$A$ whistle sends out $256$ waves in a second. If the whistle approaches the observer with a velocity equal to $\frac{1}{3}$ of the velocity of sound in air,calculate the number of waves per second the observer will receive.

$A$ train moving at a speed of $220\, m s^{-1}$ towards a stationary object,emits a sound of frequency $1000\, Hz$. Some of the sound reaching the object gets reflected back to the train as an echo. The frequency of the echo as detected by the driver of the train is ...... $Hz$. (Speed of sound in air is $330\, m s^{-1}$)

$A$ source emitting sound of frequency $288 \,Hz$ is tied to a string of $100 \,cm$ length and rotated with an angular velocity of $20 \,rad/s$ in the horizontal plane. The range of frequencies heard by an observer standing at a distance of $5 \,m$ from the source is (in $Hz$) (Speed of sound in air $= 340 \,m/s$)
