A train approaching a platform at a speed of 54 km h^-1 sounds a whistle. An observer on the platform finds its frequency to be 1620 Hz. The train passes the platform keeping the whistle on and without slowing down. What frequency will the observer hear after the train has crossed the platfrom ? The speed of sound in air = 332 ms^-1

A train standing at the outer signal of a railway station blows a whistle of frequency 400 Hz in still air. The train begins to move with a speed of 30 m s^(- 1) towards the platform. The frequency of the sound heard by an observer standing on the platform is (Speed of sound in air = 330 m s^(-1) )

A train is moving with speed 72 km/h towards a hill blows a whistle of frequency 1240Hz. the frequency of echo heard by driver is(speed of sound=330m/s)

An observer is standing 500 m away from a vertical hill. Starting between the observer and the hill, a police van sounding a siren of frequency 1000 Hz moves towards the hill with a uniform speed. If the frequency of the sound heard directly from the siren is 970 Hz, the frequency of the sound heard after reflection from the hill (in Hz) is about,(velocity of sound = 330ms^-1

A man standing on a platform observes that the frequency of the sound of a whistle emitted by a train drops by 140 Hz. If the velocity of sound in air is 330 m/s and the speed of the train is 70 m/s, the frequency of the whistle is
