प्रश्न
A train standing at the outer signal of a railway station blows a whistle of frequency 400 Hz still air. The train begins to move with a speed of 10 ms–1 towards the platform. What is the frequency of the sound for an observer standing on the platform? (sound velocity in air = 330 ms–1)
उत्तर
Frequency of train standing at the outer signal, vo = 400 Hz
Speed of train moving towards the platform, vs = 10 ms–1
The velocity of sound in air, va = 300 ms–1
Apparent frequency of the sound for an observer standing on the platform,
⇒ v' = `v_a/((v_a - v_s)) v_o`
⇒ v' = `(330 xx 400)/((330 - 10))` Hz
⇒ v' = `(330 xx 400)/320` Hz
⇒ v' = `825/2` Hz
⇒ v' = 412.5 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 speed of a wave in a certain medium is 900 m/s. If 3000 waves passes over a certain point of the medium in 2 minutes, then compute its wavelength?

With what velocity an observer should move relative to a stationary source so that a sound of double the frequency of source is heard by an observer?
A train moving at 25 m/s emits a whistle of frequency 200 Hz. If the speed of sound in air is 340 m/s, find the frequency observed by a stationary observer.
