Q1medium

An ambulance siren emits a sound of frequency 1200Hz1200\,\text{Hz}. It is moving towards a stationary observer at a speed of 30m/s30\,\text{m/s}. The speed of sound in air is 340m/s340\,\text{m/s}. What is the apparent frequency heard by the observer?

Q2easy

A train approaches a stationary observer at a speed of 20m/s20\,\text{m/s} and blows a whistle of frequency 400Hz400\,\text{Hz}. What is the apparent frequency heard by the observer? (Speed of sound in air = 340m/s340\,\text{m/s})

Q3easy

A person is moving away from a stationary siren at a speed of 10m/s10\,\text{m/s}. The siren emits sound of frequency 680Hz680\,\text{Hz}. If the speed of sound in air is 340m/s340\,\text{m/s}, what is the frequency heard by the person?

Q4hard

A source of sound is moving towards a stationary wall with a speed of 10m/s10\,\text{m/s}. The source emits sound of frequency 500Hz500\,\text{Hz}. The speed of sound in air is 340m/s340\,\text{m/s}. What is the frequency of the reflected sound as heard by the source?

Q5medium

A car moving at 20m/s20\,\text{m/s} blows a horn of frequency 600Hz600\,\text{Hz}. A cyclist is moving in the same direction at 10m/s10\,\text{m/s}. What is the frequency heard by the cyclist when the car is behind the cyclist and approaching? (Speed of sound in air = 340m/s340\,\text{m/s})

Q6medium

A source of sound is moving away from a stationary observer at 15m/s15\,\text{m/s}. The observer then starts moving towards the source at 5m/s5\,\text{m/s}. If the source emits sound at 800Hz800\,\text{Hz} and the speed of sound is 340m/s340\,\text{m/s}, what is the apparent frequency heard by the observer at this instant?
