A source of sound S is moving with a velocity of 50 m/s towards a stationary observer. The observer measures the frequency of the source as 1000 Hz. If the velocity of the sound in the medium is 350 m/s, then what will be the apparent frequency of the source when it is moving away from the observer after crossing him?

1. 750 Hz

2. 857 Hz

3. 1143 Hz

4. 1333 Hz

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 bat is flitting about in a cave, navigating via ultrasonic beeps. Assume that the sound emission frequency of the bat is 40 kHz. During one fast swoop directly toward a flat wall surface, the bat moves at 0.03 times the speed of sound in the air. What frequency does the bat hear reflected off the wall?

1. 41.27 kHz

2. 42.67 kHz

3. 41.23 kHz

4. 42.47 kHz
