A source of sound and an observer are approaching each other with the same speed, which is equal to (1/10) times the speed of sound. The apparent relative change in frequency of source is

when a source of sound of frequency f crosses stationary observer with a speed v_(s) (lt lt speed of sound v) , the apparent change in frequency Δf is given by

Show that when the speed of the source and the observer are small compared to the speed of sound in the medium, the change in frequency becomes independent of the fact whether the source is moving or the observer.

How does the speed of sound change with change in wavelength of sound wave ?

the frequency changes by 10 % as the source approaches a stationary observer with constant speed v_(s) . What would be the percentage change in frequency as the sources reaccedes the observer with the same speed ? Given , that v_(s)lt lt v (v= speed pf sound in air )

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

A source and a detector move away from each other, each with a speed of 10 m/s with respect to ground with no wind. If the detector detects a frequency 1650 Hz of the sound coming from the source, what is the original frequency of the source? (speed of sound = 340 m/s

If source and observer both are relatively at rest and if speed of sound is increased then frequency heard by observer will

A source and a detector move away from each other, each with a speed of 10 ms^-1 with respect to the ground with no wind. If the detector detects a frequency 1950 Hz of the sound coming from the source, what is the original frequency of the source? Speed of sound in air =340 ms^-1 .

A stationary observer receives sound from two identical tuning forks, one of which approaches and the other one recedes with the same speed (much less than the speed of sound). The observer hears 2 beats/ sec. The oscillation frequency of each tuning fork is v_(0)=1400 Hz and the velocity of sound in air is 350 m/s. The speed of each tuning fork is close to :
