A train moves towards a stationary observer with speed 34 m/s. The train sounds a whistle and its frequency registered by the observe is f_1 . If the train'sspeed is reduced to 17 m/s, the frequency registered is f_2 If the speed of sound is 340 m/s, then find the ratio f_1//f_2 .

A train standing in a station-yard, blows a whistle of frequency 400Hz in still air. The wind starts blowing in the direction from the yard to the station with a speed of 10 ms^(-1) . What are the frequency wavelength and speed of sound for an observer standing on the station.s platform? Is the situation exactly identical the case when the air is still and the observer runs towards the yard at a speed of 10 ms^(-1) ? The speed of sound in still air can be taken as 340 ms^(-1)

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)
