1. the apparent frequency as heard by him is smaller than 600 Hz.

2. the apparent frequency is larger than 600 Hz.

3. the frequency as heard by him is 600 Hz.

4. None of the above

A train moves towards a stationary observer with speed 34 m/s. The train sounds a whistle and its frequency registered by the observer is f1. If the train’s speed is reduced to 17 m/s, the frequency registered is f2. If the speed of sound is 340 m/s then the ratio f1/f2 is 

(1) 18/19

(2) 1/2

(3) 2

(4) 19/18

A source and an observer move away from each other with a velocity of 10 m/s with respect to ground. If the observer finds the frequency of sound coming from the source as 1950 Hz, then actual frequency of the source is (velocity of sound in air = 340 m/s) 

(1) 1950 Hz

(2) 2068 Hz

(3) 2132 Hz

(4) 2486 Hz

A whistle revolves in a circle with an angular speed of 20 rad/sec using a string of length 50 cm. If the frequency of sound from the whistle is 385 Hz, then what is the minimum frequency heard by an observer, which is far away from the centre in the same plane ? (vsound = 340 m/s)

(1) 333 Hz

(2) 374 Hz

(3) 385 Hz
