A source and a listener are both moving towards each other with speed 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

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 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 )

A source and an observer approach each other with same velocity 50 m/s. If the apparent frequency is 434 Hz, then the real frequency is (Given velocity of sound = 332 m/s)

An engine is continuously emitting sound of frequency 1.2 kHz moving uniformly along a straight track. A stationary listener is situated off the track at a perpendicular distance of l = 350 m. The velocity of engine is equal to 50 m/s and the velocity of sound is 350 m/s. Find the frequency of sound received by the listener at the moment when the engine gets closest to him.
