A train is moving at 30 m/s in still air. The frequency of the locomotive whistle is 500 Hz and the speed of sound is 345 m/s. The apparent wavelengths of sound in front of and behind the locomotive are respectively :-

A train approaching a hill at a speed of 40 km//hr sounds a whistle of frequency 580 Hz when it is at a distance of 1km from a hill. A wind with a speed of 40km//hr is blowing in the direction of motion of the train Find (i) the frequency of the whistle as heard by an observer on the hill, (ii) the distance from the hill at which the echo from the hill is heard by the driver and its frequency. (Velocity of sound in air = 1, 200 km//hr )

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)

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 train standing at the outer signal of a railway station blows a whistle of frequency 400Hz in still air. (i) What is the frequency of the whistle for a platform observer when the train (a) approaches the platform with a speed of 10 ms^(-1) . (b) recedes from the platform with a speed of 10ms^(-1) ? (ii) What is the speed of sound in each case? The speed of sound in still air can be taken as 340ms^(-1) .

In an engine the piston undergoes vertical simple motion with amplitude 7 cm . A washer rests on top of the piston and moves with it. The motor speed is slowly increased. The frequency of the piston at which the washer no longer stays in contact with the piston, is close to :-

A bat is flitting about in a cave, navigating via ultrasonic beeps. Assume that the sound emission frequency of the bat is 40kHz. During one fast swoop directly toward a flat wall surface, the bat is moving at 0.03 times the speed of sound in air. What frequency does the bat hear reflected off the wall?

A whistle revolves in a circle with an angular speed of 20 rad//sec using a string of length 50 cm . If the frequency of sound from the whistle is 385 Hz , then what is the minimum frequency heard by an observer which is far away from the centre in the same plane? v=340m//s
