A siren emitting a sound of frequency 800 Hz moves away from an observer towards a cliff at a speed of 15 ms^(-1) . Then, the frequency of sound that the observer hears in the echo reflected from the cliff is (Take velocity of sound in air = 330 ms^(-1) )

A tuning fork of frequency 170 Hz produces sound wave of wavelength 2m. Calculate speed of sound.

A rocket is moving at a speed of 220 m//s towards a stationary target. It emits a wave of frequency 1200 Hz. Some of the sound reaching the target gets reflected back to the rocket as an echo. Calculate (1) The frequency of sound detected by the target and (2) The frequency of echo detected by rocket (velocity of sound = 330 m//s .)

A train A is travelling at a speed of 108 km hr^(-1) . The train approaches another train B standing on the platform. The engine of the train B blows its hom. The frequency of the horn as observed by the driver in train A is 504 Hz. The frequency of the hom of train B is (speed of sound = 330 ms^(-1) )

If in an experiment for determination of velocity of sound by resonance tube method using a tuning fork of 512 Hz, first resonance was observed at 30.7 cm and second was obtained at 63.2 cm, then maximum possible error in velocity of sound is (consider actual speed of sound in air is 332 m/s)

A car is moving with a speed of 72 km-hour^(-1) towards a roadside source that enits sound at a frequency of 850 Hz. The car driver listens to the sound while approching the source and again while moving away from the source after crossing it. If the velocity of sound is 340 ms^(-1) , the difference of the two frequencies the driver hears is

A student is performing the experiment of resonance column. The diameter of the column tube is 4 cm . The frequency of the tuning fork is 512 Hz The air temperature is 38.^(@) C in which the speed of sound is 336 m//s . The zero of the meter scale coincides with the top end of the resonance column tube. When the first resonance occurs, the reading of the water level in the column is. (a) 14.0 cm (b) 15.2 cm ( c) 6.4 cm (d) 17.6 cm .

A vibrating string of certain length l under a tension T resonates with a mode corresponding to the first overtone (third harmonic) of an air column of length 75cm inside a tube closed at one end. The string also generates 4 beats per second when excited along with a tuning fork of frequency n . Now when the tension of the string is slightly increased the number of beats reduces 2 per second. Assuming the velocity of sound in air to be 340 m//s , the frequency n of the tuning fork in Hz is
