A train approaching a hill at a speed of `40 km//hr` sounds a whistle of frequency `580 Hz` when it is at a distance of `1km` from a hill. A wind with a speed of `40km//hr` is blowing in the direction of motion of the train Find
(i) the frequency of the whistle as heard by an observer on the hill,
(ii) the distance from the hill at which the echo from the hill is heard by the driver and its frequency.

A train approaching a hill at a speed of 60 km//hour sounds a whistle of frequency 600Hz when it is distance of 1km from the hill. Wind is blowing in the direction of the train with a speed of 60 km//h Find the frequency of the whistle heard by an observer on the hill:speed of sound in air 1200km/h)

A locomotive approaching a crossing at a speed of 20 ms^(-1) sounds a whistle of frequency 640 Hz when 1 km from the crossing. There is no wind and the speed of sound in air is 330 ms^(-1) . What frequency is heard by an observer sqrt(3) km on the straight road from the crossing at right angle :-

A train approaching a crossing at a speed of 100 km/h sounds a whistle 400 Hz when it is 1.5 km from the crossing. There is no wind and the speed of sound in air is 340 m/s. What frequency is heard by an observer 1.0 km on the strainght road from the crossing at right angles.

A train in approaching a station with a uniform velocity of 72kmph and the frequency of the whistle of that train is 480Hz . The apparent increase in the frequency of that whistle heard by a stationary observer on the platform is (Velocity of sound in air is 340m//s )

A train is approaching towards a platform with a speed of 10 ms^(-1) , while blowing a whistle of frequency 340 Hz. What is the frequency of whistle heard by a stationary observer on the platform ? (given, speed of sound =340 ms^(-1) )

The frequency of the whistle of a train is observed to drop from 280 Hz to 260 Hz as the train moves away from a stationary listerner on the platform. Calculate the speed of the train, if speed of sound in air is 340 m/s.
