An observer is standing 500 m away from a vertical hill. Starting between the observer and the hill, a police van sounding a siren of frequency 1000 Hz moves towards the hill with a uniform speed. If the frequency of the sound heard directly from the siren is 970 Hz, the frequency of the sound heard after reflection from the hill (in Hz) is about,(velocity of sound = 330ms^-1

Let vv_s be the speed of the source emitting waves, n the actual frequency of the source of sound, v the speed of the sound in the medium and n' the frequency of sound waves as percevied by a stationary observer to whom the source of sound is approaching. The formula to calculate for n' is

When both source and listener approach each other with a velocity equal to half the velocity of sound, the change in frequency of the sound as detected by the listener is (frequency of sound = n)

A rocket is moving at a speed of 200 ms^(-1) towards a stationary target. While moving , it emits a wave of frequency 1000 Hz.Some of the sound reaching the target gets reflected back to the rocket as an echo.Calculate (1) the frequency of the sound as detected by the target and (2) the frequency of the echo as detected by the rocket.

A train sounds its whistle as it approaches and crosses a level crossing. An observer at the crossing measures a frequency of 219 Hz as the train approaches and a frequency of 184 Hz as it leaves. If the speed of sound is taken to be 340m//s , find the speed of the train and the frequency of its whistle

A siren emitting a sound of frequency 1000 Hz moves away from you towards a cliff at a speed of 10 m/s. (a) What is the frequency of the sound you hear coming directly from the siren ? (b) What is the frequency of the sound you hear reflected off the cliff (c) What beat frequency would you hear ? Take the speed of sound in air as, 330 m/s.
