A train, standing in a station yard, blows a whistle of frequency 400 Hz in still air. The wind starts blowing in the direction from the yard to the station with a speed of 10 m/s. Given that the speed of sound in still air is 340 m/s ______.
- the frequency of sound as heard by an observer standing on the platform is 400 Hz.
- the speed of sound for the observer standing on the platform is 350 m/s.
- the frequency of sound as heard by the observer standing on the platform will increase.
- the frequency of sound as heard by the observer standing on the platform will decrease.

उत्तर
a and b
Explanation:
Given, v0 = 400 Hz, v = 340 m/s
Speed of wind, vw = 10 m/s
a. As both source and observer are stationary. hence frequency observed will be the same as natural frequency v0 = 400 Hz
b. The speed of sound v = v + vw = 340 + 10 = 350 m/s
c. and d. There will be no effect on frequency because there is no relative motion between source and observer hence c. and d. are incorrect.

A narrow sound pulse (for example, a short pip by a whistle) is sent across a medium. (a) Does the pulse have a definite (i) frequency, (ii) wavelength, (iii) speed of propagation? (b) If the pulse rate is 1 after every 20 s, (that is the whistle is blown for a split of second after every 20 s), is the frequency of the note produced by the whistle equal to 1/20 or 0.05 Hz

The sound emitted from the siren of an ambulance has a frequency of 1500 Hz. The speed of sound is 340 m/s. Calculate the difference in frequencies heard by a stationary observer if the ambulance initially travels towards and then away from the observer at a speed of 30 m/s.
A ship in a sea sends SONAR waves straight down into the seawater from the bottom of the ship. The signal reflects from the deep bottom bedrock and returns to the ship after 3.5 s. After the ship moves to 100 km it sends another signal which returns back after 2 s. Calculate the depth of the sea in each case and also compute the difference in height between two cases.
