A person is observing two trains, one is approaching him with a velocity of of 4 m/s while the other is receding from him with the same velocity. IF both the trains blow their respective whistles of frequency 240 hertz, the beat frequency heard by the observer will be (speed of sound in air = 320 m/s)

A man is travelling in a train towards the station with a speed of 50 m/s. calculate the apparent frequency heard by him of whistle which is blown at the station with a frequency 200 Hz. Velocity of sound in air is 350 m/s.

An engine blowing a whistle of frequency 133 Hz moves with a velocity of 60(m)/(s) towards a hill from which an echo is heard. Calculate the frequency of the echo heard by the driver. (velocity of sound in air in 340(m)/(s) .)

One train is approaching an observer at rest and another train is receding him with same velocity 4 ms^(-1) . Both the trains blow whistles of same frequency of 243 Hz. The beat frequency in Hz as heard by the observer is (speed of sound in air= 320ms^(-1) )

One train is approaching an observer at rest and another train is receding from him with the same velocity 4 m//s . Both trains blow whistles of same frequency of 243 H_(Z) . The beat frequency in H_(Z) as heard by observer is (speed of sound in air = 320 m//s )
