प्रश्न
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
उत्तर १
(a) (i)No
(ii)No
(iii)Yes
(b) No
Explanation:
(a) The narrow sound pulse does not have a fixed wavelength or frequency. However, the speed of the sound pulse remains the same, which is equal to the speed of sound in that medium.
(b) The short pip produced after every 20 s does not mean that the frequency of the whistle is `1/20` or 0.05 Hz. It means that 0.05 Hz is the frequency of the repetition of the pip of the whistle
उत्तर २
(a) In a non dispersive medium, the wave propagates with definite speed but its wavelength of frequency is not definite.
(b) No, the frequency of the note is not 1/20 or 0.50 Hz. 0.005 Hz is only the frequency ‘ of repetition of the pip of the whistle.

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
Answer briefly.
What is Doppler effect?
State the expression for apparent frequency when listener is stationary and source is moving towards the listener.
Answer briefly.
State the expression for apparent frequency when source of sound and listener are
- moving towards each other
- moving away from each other
The sound emitted from the siren of an ambulance has a frequency of 1500 Hz. The speed of sound is 340 m/s. Calculate the difference in frequencies heard by a stationary observer if the ambulance initially travels towards and then away from the observer at a speed of 30 m/s.
The pitch of the whistle of an engine appears to drop to`(5/6)^"th"` of original value when it passes a stationary observer. If the speed of sound in air is 350 m/s then the speed of engine is ____________.
A source and a detector move away from each other in absence of wind with a speed of 20 m/s with respect to the ground. If the detector detects a frequency of 1800 Hz of the sound coming from the source, then the original frequency of the source considering the speed of sound in air 340 m/s will be ______ Hz.
The frequency of echo will be ______ Hz if the train blowing a whistle of frequency 320 Hz is moving with a velocity of 36 km/h towards a hill from which an echo is heard by the train driver. The velocity of sound in air is 330 m/s.
A whistle producing sound waves of frequencies 9500 Hz and above is approaching a stationary person with speed v ms-1. The velocity of sound in air is 300 ms-1. If the person can hear frequencies up to a maximum of 10,000 HZ, the maximum value of v up to which he can hear the whistle is ______.
