Two train travelling in opposite directions at 126 km/hr each, cross other while one of them is whistling if the frequency of the node is 2.22 kHz find the apparent frequency as head by an observer in the other train :
(a) Before the trains cross each other
(b) After the trains have crossed each other `(V_("sound") = 335 m//sec)`

Verified by Experts

Here `V_(1) = 126 xx (5)/(18) = 35 m//s`
(i) In this situation `rarr v_(1) v_(1) larr`
Observed frequency `n'=((v+v_(1))/(v-v_(1)))xxn=((335+35)/(335-35))xx2220=2738Hz`
(ii) In this situation `v_(1) larr rarr v_(1)`
Observed frequency `n'=((v-v_(1))/(v+v_(1)))xxn=((335-35)/(335+35))xx2220=1800Hz`

Two express trains moving at 100 kilometre per hour are travelling towards each other while one of them is whistling continuously. If the frequency of the note is 1000 Hz, find the apparent pitch to an observer in the other train (a) before the trains pass by each other and (b) after they have passed each other. (Velocity of sound in air = 340 m//s )

Two trains A and B are approaching each other with 108 km h^(-1) and 126 km h^(-1) , respectively . If the train A sounds a whistle of frequency 500 Hz , find the frequency of the whistle as heard by a passenger in the train B . (a) before the trains cross each other and (b) after the trains cross each other . (Take velocity of sound as 330 m s^(-1) )

Two trains, each moving with a velocity of 30 ms^-1 , cross each other. One of the trains gives a whistle whose frequency is 600 Hz. If the speed of sound is 330 ms^-1 , the apparent frequency for passengers sitting in the other train before crossing would be
