A source emitting a sound of frequency v is placed at a large distance from an observer. The source starts moving towards the observer with a uniform acceleration a. Find the frequency heard by the observer corresponding to the wave emitted just after the source starts. The speed of sound in the medium is v.

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 of frequency 90 vibrations/ sec is approaching a stationary observer with a speed equal to 1/10 the speed of sound. What will be the frequency heard by the observer

A source producing sound of frequency 170 Hz is approaching a stationary observer with a velocity 17 ms^(-1) . The apparent change in the wavelength of sound heard by the observer is (speed of sound in air = 340 ms^(-1) )

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

If a source of frequency n moving with velocity v crosses a stationary observer, then the change in the frequency of sound heard by the observer will be (velocity of sound = V)

Assertion : A sound source is approaching towards a stationary observer along the tine joining them. Then , apparent frequency to the observer will go on increasing. Reason : If there is no relative motion between source and observer , apparent frequency is equal to the actual frequency.
