Doppler Effect (in Sound)
Important Questions on Doppler Effect (in Sound)
A warship is fitted with SONAR operating at a frequency of . A submarine is approaching the ship with a speed of . If the speed of sound is , what will be the frequency of the sound received after being reflected from the submarine?

A source and an observer are situated on two perpendicular tracks as shown in the figure. The observer is at rest and the source is moving with a speed of . The source emits a sound wave of frequency which travel in the medium with a velocity of . The frequency (in ) of the sound heard by the observer when the source crosses the origin is,

A police man on duty detects a drop of in the pitch of the horn of a motor car as it crosses him. If the velocity of sound is calculate the speed of the car

A person carrying a whistle emitting continuously a note of is running towards a reflecting surface with a speed of . The speed of sound in air is . The number of beats heard by him is:-

The frequency of a radar is . The frequency of the reflected wave from an aeroplane is increased by . The velocity of the aeroplane in is:

Two cars moving in opposite directions approach each other with the speed of and respectively. The driver of the first car blows a horn having a frequency . The frequency heard by the driver of the second car is [velocity of sound (in ):- ( Approximate the answer to nearest integer)

Two cars moving in opposite directions approach each other with speed of and respectively. The driver of the first car blows a horn having a frequency . The frequency heard by the driver of the second car is [velocity of sound ]:

A source on a swing that is covering an angle from the vertical is producing a frequency . The source is distant from the place of support of swing. If the velocity of sound is , acceleration due to gravity is , then the maximum and minimum frequency heard by a listener in front of swing is

A boy is walking away from a stationary wall at a speed of and blows a whistle whose frequency is . The number of beats heard by the boy per second is (Velocity of sound in air)

Two tuning forks and lying on opposite sides of observer and of natural frequency move with velocity relative to a stationary observer . Fork moves away from the observer while the fork moves towards him. Wind with a speed is blowing in the direction of motion of fork . Find the beat frequency measured by the observer in . (Take speed of sound in air as )

A source and a detector both start moving simultaneously from the position shown in the figure, one along -axis and the other along -axis with speeds and respectively. If is the frequency of the source then the graph between the apparent frequency observed by detector and time would be [assume that source and detector do not collide]

A source and an observer are situated on two perpendicular tracks as shown in the figure. The observer is at rest and the source is moving with a speed of . The source emits a sound wave of frequency , which travel in the medium with a velocity of . The frequency of the sound heard by the observer when the source crosses the origin
