A siren placed at a railway platform is emitting sound of frequency 5 kHz . A passenger sitting in a moving train A records a frequency of 5.5kHz while the train approaches the siren. During his return journey in a different train B he records a frequency of 6.0 kHz while approaching the same siren. the ratio the velocity of train B to that of train A is

A person going away from a factory on his scooter at a speed of 36 km/hr listens to the siren of the factory. If the actual frequency of the siren is 700 Hz and a wind is blowing along the direction of the scooter at 36 km//hr, find the observed frequency heard by the person. (Given speed of sound = 340 m//s )

Find the wavelength of sound wave of frequency 4.2 MHz travelling with a speed 1.7 km//s.

(a) When monochromatic light is incident on a surface separating two media, the reflected and refracted light both have the same frequency as the incident frequency. Explain why? (b) When light travels from a rarer to a denser medium, the speed decreases. Does the reduction in speed imply a reduction in the energy carried by the light wave? (c) In the wave picture of light, intensity of light is determined by the square of the amplitude of the wave. What determines the intensity of light in the photon picture of light

A rocket is moving at a speed of 200 m s^(-1) towards a stationary target. While moving, it emits a wave of frequency 1000 Hz. Some of the sound reaching the target gets reflected back to the rocket as an echo. Calculate (1) the frequency of the sound as detected by the target and (2) the frequency of the echo as detected by the rocket.

Two train travelling in opposite directions at 126 km/hr each, cross other while one of them is whistling if the frequency of the node is 2.22 kHz find the apparent frequency as head by an observer in the other train : (a) Before the trains cross each other (b) After the trains have crossed each other (V_("sound") = 335 m//sec)

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 spread of frequency as observed by the passenger in train B is
