(A): When an observer moves towards a stationary source, the frequency of sound heard is greater than the actual frequency (R) : Apparent frequency increases because the observer intercepts more number of waves when he moves towards the source.

(A) : When a source moves towards a stationary observer, the speed of source relative to the observer remains unchanged. (R): The apparent change in frequency is due to change in the wavelength brought by the motion of the source.

To an observer, the pitch of a stationary source of sound appears to be reduced by 20%. If the speed of sound is 340m/s then speed and direction of the observer is

An observer is moving away from a sound source of frequency 100 Hz. If the obsever is moving with a velocity 49ms^-1 and the speed of sound in air is 330ms^-1 . The observed frequency is

The source and an observer move away from each other, each with a velocity of 10m//s , with respect to ground, If the obsever find the frequency of sound coming from the source as 1950Hz, the original frequency of the source is (assume velocity of sound in air = 340ms^-1 )
