An observer moves towards a stationary source of sound. The percentage change in the apparent frequency is

An observer moves towards a stationary source of sound with a speed ((1)/(5)) th of the speed of sound. The wavelength and frequency of the source emitted are lamda and f, respectively. The apparent frequency and wavelength recorded by the observer are, respectively.

(A): When an observer moves towards a stationary source, the frequency of sound heard is greater than the actual frequency (R) : Apparent frequency increases because the observer intercepts more number of waves when he moves towards the source.

An observer is moving towards the stationary source of sound, then A. Apparent frequency will be less than the real frequency B. Apparent frequency will be greater than the real frequency C. Apparent frequency will be equal to real frequency D. Only the quality of sound will change

An observer approaches towards a stationary source of sound at constant velocity and recedes away at the same speed. The graph of wavelength observed with time is:

A source of sound emitting a note of frequency 200 Hz moves towards an observer with a velocity v equal to the velocity of sound. If the observer also moves away from the source with the same velocity v, the apparent frequency heard by the observer is

A stationary sound sound 's' of frequency 334 Hz and a stationary ovserver 'O' are placed near a reflecting suface moving away from the source with velocity 2 m/s as shown in the figure. If the velocity of the sound waves is air is v= 330 m/s the apparent frequency of the echo is

When the observer moves towards the stationary source with velocity, v_1 , the apparent frequency of emitted note is f_1 . When the observer moves away from the source with velocity v_1 , the apparent frequency is f_2 . If v is the velocity of sound in air and f_1/f_2 = 2,then v/v_1 = ?

When source of sound moves towards a stationary observer, the wavelength of sound received by him

A sound source is moving towards a stationary observer with 1/10 of the speed of sound. The ratio of apparent to real frequency is
