A car blowing a horn of frequency 350 Hz is moving normally towards a wall a speed of 5 m/s The beat frequency heard by a person standing between the car and wall is (speed of sound in air =350 m/s )

The audible range of sound is 20 Hz to 20000 Hz. At 22^@C in airspeed of sound is 344 m//s .Express the range of sound in terms of wavelength by calculating the respective values.

The tuning forks of frequencies 320 Hz and 340 Hz produce sound waves of wavelength differing by 6 cm in air. The velocity of sound in air is

Two trains A and B moving with speeds 20m//s and 30m//s respectively in the same direction on the same straight track, with B ahead of A . The engines are at the front ends. The engine of train A blows a long whistle. Assume that the sound of the whistle is composed of components varying in frequency from f_(1) = 800 Hz to f_(2) = 1120 Hz , as shown in the figure. The spread in the frequency (highest frequency - lowest frequency) is thus 320 Hz . The speed of sound in still air is 340 m//s .The speed of sound of the whistle is

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 )
