The apaarent frequency of a note is 200 Hz when a listener is with a velocity of 40 ms^(-1) towards a stationary source. When he moves away from the same source with the same speed, the apparent frequency of the same note is 160 Hz. The velocity of sound in air in m/s is :

At what speed should a source of sound move away from a stationary observer so that observer finds the apparent frequency equal to half of the original frequency?

A sound of frequency 1500 Hz is emitted by a source which moves away from an observer and moves towards a cliff at a speed of 6 ms^(-1) (a) Calculate the frequency of the sound which is coming directly from the source. (b) Compute the frequency ofsound heard by the observer reflected off the cliff. Assume the speed of sound in air is 330 ms^(-1)

A person who is sitting at a distance of 400 m from a source of sound is listening to a sound of 600 Hz. Find the timee period between successive compressions from the source?
