A train has just completed a U-curve in a track which is a semicircle. The engine is at the forward end of the semi-circular part of the track while the last carriage is at the rear end of the semi-circular track. The driver blows a whistle of frequency 200 Hz. Velocity of sound is 340 m//s . Then the apparent frequency as observed by a passenger in the middle of a train when the speed of the train is 30 m//s is

The observer is moving with velocity 'v_0' towards the stationary source of sound and then after crossing moves away from the source with velocity ' v_0 '. Assume that the medium through which the sound waves travel is at rest, If 'v' is the velocity of sound and 'n' is the frequency emitted by the spurce then the difference between apparent frequencies heard by the observer is

A train is moving on a straight track with speed 20 ms^(-1) . It is blowing its whistle at the frequency of 1000 Hz. The percentage change in the frequency heard by a person standing near the track as the train passes him is (speed of sound = 320 ms^(-1) ) close to

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

Consider a source of sound S and an observer P. The frequency of sound source is n_0 . The frequency heard by P is found to be (1) n_1 if P approaches S at speed v and S is stationary. (2) n_2 if S approaches P at speed v and P is stationary. (3) n_3 if each of P and S have speed v//2 towards one another. Now,
