उत्तर
Given: vs = 15 m/s, n0 = 250 Hz, v = 340 m/s
To find: Frequency (n)
Formula: n = `"n"_0("v"/("v" - "v"_"s"))`
Calculation: As the source approaches listener, apparent frequency is given by,
n = `250 (340/(340 - 15)) = 3400/13`
∴ n = 261.54 Hz
The frequency heard by the audience as the car approaches stand is 261.54 Hz.

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
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.
The change in frequency due to Doppler effect does not depend on

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.
