.A train,standing at the outersignal of a railway station blows a whistle of frequency 400 Hz in still air. What is the frequency and speed of sound in each case ? (a) approaches the platform with a speed of 10ms^(-1) , (b) receeds from the platform with a speed of 10ms^(-1)? (ii) The speed of sound in still air can be taken as 340ms^(-1)

A train standing at the outer signal of a railway station blows a whistle of frequency 400 Hz in still air .The train begins to move with a speed of 10ms^(-1) towards the platform. What is the frequency of the sound for an observer standing on the platform?(sound velocity in air = (330ms^(-1)) )

A train, standing in a station-yard, blows a whistle of frequency 400 Hz in still air. The wind starts blowing in the direction from the yard to the station with a speed of 10 m s^-1 . What are the frequency, wavelength, and speed of sound for an observer standing on the station’s platform? Is the situation exactly identical to the case when the air is still and the observer runstowards the yard at a speed of 10 m s^-1 ? The speed of sound in still air can be taken as 340 m s ^-1 .

A bat emits ultrasonic sound of frequency 1000 kHz in air. If the sound meets a water surface, what is the wavelength of the transmitted sound? Speed of sound in air is 340 m s^-1 and in water 1486 m s^-1 .

A train whistling at constant frequency is moving towards a station at a constant speed V. The train goes past a stationary observer on the station. The frequency n' of the sound as heard by the observer is plotted as a function of time t (shown in the figure). Identical the expected curve.

A SONAR system fixed in a submarine operates at a frequency 40.0 kHz. An enemy submarine moves towards the SONAR with a speed of 360 km h^-1 . What is the frequency of sound reflected by the submarine ?Take the speed of sound in water to be 1450m s^-1 .

The two rails of a railway track, insulated from each other and the ground, are connected to a milli voltmeter. What is the reading of the milli voltmeter when a train travels at a speed of 180 km//hours along the track, given that the vertical components of earth's magnitic field is 0.2xx10^(_4) weber//m^(2) & the rails are separated by 1 meter?

A rain drop of radius 2 mm falls from a height of 500 nr above the ground. It falls with decreasing acceleration (due to viscous resistance of the air) until at half its original height, it attains its maximum (terminal) speed, and moves with uniform speed thereafter. What is the work done by the gravitational force on the drop in the first and second half of its journey ? What is the work done by the resistive force in the entire journey if its speed on reaching the ground is 10 m s^-1 ?
