When the observer moves towards the stationary source with velocity, 'V_1' , the apparent frequency of emitted note is ‘F_1' . When the observer moves away from the source with velocity ‘V_1’ , the apparent frequency is 'F_2' . If 'V' is the velocity ofsound in air and frac(F_1)(F_2)=2 then frac(V)(V_1)= ?

Assertion: The whistle of an approaching engine appears to be shriller than that of a receding engine. Reason: This is due to Doppler effect, which states that if a source of sound approaches the observer, the frequency of sound increases and if the source recedes the observer, the frequency of sound decreases.

A source of sound when moves towards a stationary observer, then frequency of the sound heard by listener is more than actual frequency because the

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 )

What should be the velocity of sound from a source w.r.t. an observer, so that the frequency listened by the observer becomes half of the initial frequency?

Is the frequency of wave changes when it goes from one medium to another medium ?

An observer starts moving with uniform acceleration ‘a’ towards a stationary sound source emitting a whistle of frequency ‘n\ As the observer approaches source, the apparent frequency heard by the observer varies with time as

The difference between the apparent frequency 71. of a source of sound as perceived by the observer during its approach and recession is 2% of the frequency of the source. If the speed of sound in air is 300 ms^(-1) , then the velocity of the source is

The apparent change in frequency of a sounding source and observer in relative motion is
