A stationary source emits sound of frequency 1200 Hz. If would blows at the speed of 0.1 v. deduce (a) The change in the frequency for a stationary observer on the wind side of the source (b) Report the calculations for the case when there is no wind but the observer moves at 0.1 v speed towards the source (Given : velocity of sound = v)

An observer A is moving directly towards a stationary sound source while another observer B is moving away from the source with the same velocity. Which of the following statements are correct?

A source of sound emits sound waves at frequency f_(0) . It is moving towards an observer with fixed speed v_(s)(v_(s) lt v where v is the speed in air). If the observer were to move towards the source with speed v_(0) one of the following two graphs (A and B) will give the correct variation of the frequency f heard by the observer as v_(0) is changed, The variation of f with v_(0) is given correctly by :-

Three observers A, B and C measure the speed of light coming from a source to be v_A,v_B and v_C . The observer A moves towards the source and C moves away from the soure at the same speed. The observer B stays stationary. The surrounding space is vacuum everywhere .

Assertion : The sound emitted by the source travels in all directions. Reason : The relative velocity of sound with respect to the observer is the sum of velocity of sound and velocity of observer.

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 double-slit apparatus is used to observe an interference patten projected on a screen from a stationary light source. If the light source is instead moved toward the double slits at constant speed along the axis of symmetry. What will be observed on the screen ?

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 = ?

A source having frequency of 240 Hz is moving towards an observer with a speed of 20 m/sec. When the observer is moving towards the source with a velocity of 20 m/sec, then apparent frequency heard by the observer, if velocity is 330 m/sec will be

(A) : Relative to an observer at rest in a medium the speed of a mechanical wave in that medium (1) depends only on elastic and other properties (such as mass density) of the medium. It does not depend on the velocity of the source. (B): For an observer moving with velocity v_(0) relative to the medium, the speed of a wave is obviously different from v and is given by v+-v_(0)
