उत्तर

Hurricane produces a shock wave which has a speed greater than the speed of sound. It travels with a supersonic sound that can be easily sensed by animals using the Doppler effect. The multiple reflections of sound can be easily sensed by animals.

Solve the following problem.

A police car travels towards a stationary observer at a speed of 15 m/s. The siren on the car emits a sound of frequency 250 Hz. Calculate the recorded frequency. The speed of sound is 340 m/s.


What is meant by the Doppler effect?


Discuss the following case-

Observer in motion and Source at rest.

  1. Observer moves towards Source
  2. Observer resides away from the Source

Discuss the following case-

Both are in motion

  1. Source and Observer approach each other
  2. Source and Observer resides from each other
  3. Source chases Observer
  4. Observer chases Source

With what velocity an observer should move relative to a stationary source so that a sound of double the frequency of source is heard by an observer?


A train standing at the outer signal of a railway station blows a whistle of frequency 400 Hz still air. The train begins to move with a speed of 10 ms–1 towards the platform. What is the frequency of the sound for an observer standing on the platform? (sound velocity in air = 330 ms–1)


A source and a detector move away from each other in absence of wind with a speed of 20 m/s with respect to the ground. If the detector detects a frequency of 1800 Hz of the sound coming from the source, then the original frequency of the source considering the speed of sound in air 340 m/s will be ______ Hz.


The frequency of echo will be ______ Hz if the train blowing a whistle of frequency 320 Hz is moving with a velocity of 36 km/h towards a hill from which an echo is heard by the train driver. The velocity of sound in air is 330 m/s.


A whistle producing sound waves of frequencies 9500 Hz and above is approaching a stationary person with speed v ms-1. The velocity of sound in air is 300 ms-1. If the person can hear frequencies up to a maximum of 10,000 HZ, the maximum value of v up to which he can hear the whistle is ______.


When an observer moves towards a stationary source with velocity 'V₁', the apparent frequency of emitted note is 'F₁'. When observer moves away from stationary source with velocity 'V₁' the appearent frequency is 'F2'. If 'v' is velocity of sound in air and \[\frac {F_1}{F_2}\] = 2, then \[\frac {V}{V_1}\] is equal to ______.
