प्रश्न
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.

In discussing Doppler effect, we use the word "apparent frequency". Does it mean that the frequency of the sound is still that of the source and it is some physiological phenomenon in the listener's ear that gives rise to Doppler effect? Think for the observer approaching the source and for the source approaching the observer.
Answer briefly.
State the expression for apparent frequency when the source is stationary and the listener is
- moving towards the source
- moving away from the source

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.
