A train moving at a speed of 220 ms-1 towards a stationary object, emits a sound of frequency 1000 Hz. Some of the sound reaching the object gets reflected back to the train as an echo. The frequency of the echo as detected by the driver of the train is:(speed of sound in air is 330 ms-1)

1.  4000 Hz 

2.  5000 Hz 

3.  3000 Hz 

4.  3500 Hz

A car is moving towards a high cliff. The car driver sounds a horn at a frequency of 'f'. The reflected sound heard by the driver has a frequency of 2f. If 'v' is the velocity of sound, then the velocity of the car, in the same velocity units, will be:
1. v/3
2. v/4
3. v/2
4. v/2

1. 385 Hz
2. 374 Hz
3. 394 Hz
4. 333 Hz

An observer moves towards a stationary source of sound with a speed of 1/5th of the speed of sound. The wavelength and frequency of the source emitted are λ and f, respectively. The apparent frequency and wavelength recorded by the observer are, respectively:
1. 1.2f, 1.2λ
2. 1.2f, λ
3. f, 1.2λ
4. 0.8f, 0.8λ

A rocket is moving at a speed of \(200\) ms–1 towards a stationary target. While moving, it emits a wave of frequency \(1000\) Hz. Some of the sound reaching the target gets reflected back to the rocket as an echo. The frequency of the sound as detected by the target and the frequency of the echo as detected by the rocket respectively are: (speed of sound = \(330\) m/s)
1. \(4080\) Hz and \(2540\) Hz
2. \(1000\) Hz and \(1000\) Hz
3. \(2540\) Hz and \(4080\) Hz
4. \(2540\) Hz and \(2540\) Hz
