Doppler Effect

A radar operates at wavelength $50.0 \mathrm{cm}$. If the beat frequency between the transmitted signal and the signal reflected from aircraft $\left(∆\nu \right)$ is $1 \mathrm{kHz}$, then velocity(in $\mathrm{km} {\mathrm{h}}^{-1}$) of the aircraft will be

A police car moving at $30 \mathrm{m} {\mathrm{s}}^{-1}$, chases a motorcyclist. The policeman sounds his horn at $180 \mathrm{Hz}$, while both of them move towards a stationary siren of frequency $160 \mathrm{Hz}$. The speed (in $\mathrm{m} {\mathrm{s}}^{-1}$) of the motorcyclist to the nearest integer, if it is given that he does not observe any beats is $\alpha$. Write the value of $\left[\alpha \right],$ where $\alpha$ is the greatest integer function.

(c) The frequency of the reflected wave as observed by the observer.

(d) Beat frequency heard by the observer.

A bus is moving with a velocity of $5 \mathrm{m} {\mathrm{s}}^{-1}$ towards a huge wall. The driver sounds a horn of frequency $165 \mathrm{Hz}$. If the speed of sound in air is $335 \mathrm{m} {\mathrm{s}}^{-1}$, Calculate the number of beats heard per second by a passenger on the bus. Take speed of sound $=335 \mathrm{m} {\mathrm{s}}^{-1}$.

Two tuning forks $A$ and $B$ lying on opposite sides of observer $O$ and of natural frequency $85 \mathrm{Hz}$ move with velocity $10 \mathrm{m}/\mathrm{s}$ relative to a stationary observer $O$. Fork $A$ moves away from the observer while the fork $B$ moves towards him. Wind with a speed $10 \mathrm{m}/\mathrm{s}$ is blowing in the direction of motion of fork $A$. Find the beat frequency measured by the observer in $\mathrm{Hz}$. (Take speed of sound in air as $340 \mathrm{m}/\mathrm{s}$)

When the source and the listener move in the same direction with a speed equal to the half of the speed of sound, the change in frequency of the sound is

Two cars moving in opposite directions approach each other with speed of $22 \mathrm{m} {\mathrm{s}}^{-1}$ and $16.5 \mathrm{m} {\mathrm{s}}^{-1}$ respectively.
