A source and an observer move away from each other with a velocity of 10 m/s with respect to ground. If the observer finds the frequency of sound coming from the source as 1950 Hz , then actual frequency of the source is (velocity of sound in air = 340 m/s )

A train is moving with a uniform speed of 33 m//s and an observer is approaching the train with the same speed. If the train blows a whistle of frequency 1000 Hz and the velocity of sound is 333 m//s then the apparent frequency of the sound that the observer hears is

A source of sound S is moving with a velocity 50 m//s towards a stationary observer. The observer measures the frequency of the source as 1000 Hz. What will be the apparent frequency of the source when it is moving away from the observer after crossing him? The velocity of sound in the medium is 350 m//s .

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/s. The speed of source will be
