A sound source is moving towards a stationary observer with 1/10 of the speed of sound. The ratio of apparent to real frequency is :
(1) 10/9
(2) 11/10
(3) (11/10)2
(4) (9/10)2
The speed of sound in air at a given temperature is 350 m/s. An engine blows whistle at a frequency of 1200 cps. It is approaching the observer with velocity 50 m/s. The apparent frequency in cps heard by the observer will be :
(1) 600
(2) 1050
(3) 1400
(4) 2400
The Doppler's effect is applicable for :
(1) Light waves
(2) Sound waves
(3) Space waves
(4) Both (1) and (2)
A source of sound is moving with constant velocity of 20 m/s emitting a note of frequency 1000 Hz. The ratio of frequencies observed by a stationary observer while the source is approaching him and after it crosses him will be
(1) 9 : 8
(2) 8 : 9
(3) 1 : 1
(4) 9 : 10
(Speed of sound v = 340 m/s)
A source and listener
are both moving towards each other at a speed of v/10, where v is the speed of sound. If the frequency of the note emitted by the source is f, the frequency heard by the listener would be nearly :
1. 1.11 f
2. 1.22 f
3. f
4. 1.27 f
A motor car blowing a horn of frequency 124vib/sec moves with a velocity 72 km/hr towards a tall wall. The frequency of the reflected sound heard by the driver will be (velocity of sound in air is 330 m/s)
(1) 109 vib/sec
(2) 132 vib/sec
(3) 140 vib/sec
(4) 248 vib/sec
A source of sound of frequency n is moving towards a stationary observer with a speed S. If the speed of sound in air is V and the frequency heard by the observer is n1, the value of n1/n is
(1) (V + S)/V
(2) V/(V + S)
(3) (V – S)/V
(4) V/(V – S)
An observer is moving away from the source of the sound of frequency 100 Hz. His speed is 33 m/s. If the speed of sound is 330 m/s, then the observed frequency is :
(1) 90 Hz
(2) 100 Hz
(3) 91 Hz
(4) 110 Hz
An observer standing at the station observes frequency 219 Hz when a train approaches and 184 Hz when train goes away from him. If velocity of sound in air is 340 m/s, then velocity of train and actual frequency of whistle will be
(1)

A boy is walking away from a wall towards an observer at a speed of 1 metre/sec and blows a whistle whose frequency is 680 Hz. The number of beats heard by the observer per second is (Velocity of sound in air = 340 metres/sec)
