If apparent change in frequency of sound heard by a listener is less than, the actual frequency of sound emitted by source. Then it means that

A source of sound is travelling towards a stationary observer. The frequency of sound heard by the observer is 25 % more than the actual frequency. If the speed of sound is v , that of the source is

A source of sound is travelling towards a stationary observer. The frequency of sound heard by the observer is of three times the original frequency. The velocity of sound is v m / sec . The speed of source will be

A source of sound and listener are approaching each other with a speed of 40 m / s . The apparent frequency of note produced by the source is 400 cps . Then, its true frequency (in cps ) is (velocity of sound in air = 360 m / s )

An observer moving towards a stationary source observes that the apparent frequency is three times the actual frequency of the source. If the velocity of sound is V, the velocity of the observer would be-

The apparent change in frequency of a sounding source and observer in relative motion is

A source of sound and a listener both are moving in the same direction,the source following the listener. If the respective velocities of sound ,source and listener are v, v_s and v_'//s then the ratio of the actual frequency of the source and the apparent frequency as received by the listener is

A source emitting sound at frequency 4000 Hz, is moving along the Y-axis with a speed of 22 m s^-1 . A listener is situated on the ground at the position (660 m, 0). Find the frequency of the sound received by the listener at the instant the source crosses the origin. Speed of sound in air = 330 m s^-1 .
