A vehicle, with a horn of frequency $$n$$ is moving with a velocity of $$30\,m/s$$ in a direction perpendicular to the straight line joining the observer and the vehicle. The observer perceives the sound to have a frequency $$n + {n_1}.$$ Then (If the sound velocity in air is $$300\,m/s$$ )
When velocity of source (vehicle) is perpendicular to the line joining the observer and source, then there is no Doppler effect of sound as the component of velocity either towards or away from the observer is zero. So, there is no change in apparent frequency. Therefore, $${n_1} = 0.$$

Equations of two progressive waves are given by $${y_1} = a\sin \left( {\omega t + {\phi _1}} \right)$$ and $${y_2} = a\sin \left( {\omega t + {\phi _2}} \right).$$ If amplitude and time period of resultant wave are same as that of both the waves, then $$\left( {{\phi _1} - {\phi _2}} \right)$$ is
The given progressive waves are
$$\eqalign{
& {y_1} = a\sin \left( {\omega t + {\phi _1}} \right) \cr
& {y_2} = a\sin \left( {\omega t + {\phi _2}} \right) \cr} $$
The resultant of two waves is
$$\eqalign{
& y = {y_1} + {y_2} \cr
& = a\left[ {\sin \left( {\omega t + {\phi _1}} \right) + \sin \left( {\omega t + {\phi _2}} \right)} \right] \cr} $$
If $$A$$ is the amplitude of resultant wave, then
$$\eqalign{
& A = a\,\left( {{\text{given}}} \right) \cr
& \therefore {A^2} = {a^2} + {a^2} + 2{a^2}\cos \phi \cr
& {\text{or}}\,\,{a^2} = {a^2} + {a^2} + 2{a^2}\cos \phi \cr
& {\text{or}}\,\,\cos \phi = - \frac{1}{2} = \cos {120^ \circ } \cr
& \therefore \phi = {120^ \circ } = \frac{{2\,\pi }}{3} \cr
& {\text{Thus,}}\,\,{\phi _1} - {\phi _2} = \frac{{2\,\pi }}{3} \cr} $$

The extension in a string, obeying Hooke’s law, is $$x.$$ The speed of sound in the stretched string is $$v.$$ If the extension in the string is increased to $$1.5\,x,$$ the speed of sound will be
Velocity of sound by a stretched string
$$\eqalign{
& v = \sqrt {\frac{T}{m}} \cr
& \frac{v}{{v'}} = \sqrt {\frac{T}{{T'}}} \cr
& \Rightarrow \,\,v' = v\sqrt {\frac{{T'}}{T}} \cr
& = v\sqrt {\frac{{1.5\,x}}{x}} \cr
& = 1.22\,v \cr} $$

An observer moves towards a stationary source of sound with a speed $$\frac{1}{5}th$$ of the speed of sound. The wavelength and frequency of the source emitted are $$\lambda $$ and $$f$$ respectively. The apparent frequency and wavelength recorded by the observer are respectively
When an observer moves towards a stationary source of sound, then apparent frequency heard by the observer increases. The apparent frequency heard in this situation
$$f' = \left( {\frac{{v + {v_o}}}{{v - {v_s}}}} \right)f$$
As source is stationary hence, $${v_s} = 0$$
$$\eqalign{
& \therefore f' = \left( {\frac{{v + {v_o}}}{v}} \right)f \cr
& {\text{Given,}}\,\,{v_o} = \frac{v}{5} \cr} $$
Substituting in the relation for $${f'},$$ we have
$$f' = \left( {\frac{{v + \frac{v}{5}}}{v}} \right)f = \frac{6}{5}f = 1.2\,f$$
Motion of observer does not affect the wavelength teaching the observer, hence, wavelength remains $$\lambda .$$

A wave disturbance in a medium is described by $$y\left( {x,t} \right) = 0.02\cos \left( {50\,\pi t + \frac{\pi }{2}} \right)\cos \left( {10\,\pi x} \right)$$ where $$x$$ and $$y$$ are in metre and $$t$$ is in second

The wavelength of two waves are $$50$$ and $$51\,cm$$ respectively. If the temperature of the room is $${20^ \circ }C$$ then what will be the number of beats produced per second by these waves, when the speed of sound at $${0^ \circ }C$$ is $$332\,m/s$$ ?

A tuning fork arrangement (pair) produces $$4\,beats/\sec$$ with one fork of frequency $$288\,cps.$$ A little wax is placed on the unknown fork and it then produces $$2\,beats/\sec.$$ The frequency of the unknown fork is
A tuning fork produces $$4\,beats/\sec$$ with another tuning fork of frequency $$288\,cps.$$ From this information we can conclude that the frequency of unknown fork is $$288 + 4\,cps$$ or $$288 - 4\,cps$$ i.e. $$292\,cps$$ or $$284\,cps.$$ When a little wax is placed on the unknown fork, it produces $$2\,beats/\sec.$$ When a little wax is placed on the unknown fork, its frequency decreases and simultaneously the beat frequency decreases confirming that the frequency of the unknown fork is $$292\,cps.$$

A wave of frequency $$100\,Hz$$ is sent along a string towards a fixed end. When this wave travels back after reflection, a node is formed at a distance of $$10\,cm$$ from the fixed end of the string. The speed of incident (and reflected) wave are
As fixed end is a node, therefore distance between two consecutive nodes
$$\eqalign{
& = \frac{\lambda }{2} = 10\,cm\,\left[ {\lambda = {\text{wavelength of wave sent}}} \right] \cr
& \Rightarrow \lambda = 20\,cm = 0.2\,m \cr} $$
\[{\text{As}}\,{\text{we}}\,{\text{know,}}\,\,v = \nu \lambda \,\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
{v = {\text{velocity of wave}}} \\
{\nu = {\text{frequency of wave}}}
\end{array}} \right]\]
$$\therefore v = 100 \times 0.2 = 20\,m/s$$

A siren placed at a railway platform is emitting sound of frequency $$5\,kHz.$$ A passenger sitting in a moving train $$A$$ records a frequency of $$5.5\,kHz$$ while the train approaches the siren. During his return journey in a different train $$B$$ he records a frequency of $$6.0\,kHz$$ while approaching the same siren. The ratio of the velocity of train $$B$$ to that train $$A$$ is
Using the formula $$n' = n\left( {\frac{{{v_A} + v}}{v}} \right)$$
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{{{v_A} + v}}{v} = \frac{{5.5}}{5}\,\,{\text{and }}\frac{{{v_B} + v}}{v} = \frac{6}{5} \cr
& \Rightarrow \,\,\frac{{{v_B}}}{{{v_A}}} = 2 \cr} $$

A siren emitting a sound of frequency $$800\,Hz$$ moves away from an observer towards a cliff at a speed of $$15\,m{s^{ - 1}}.$$ Then, the frequency of sound that the observer hears in the echo reflected from the cliff is
(Take, velocity of sound in air $$ = 330\,m{s^{ - 1}}$$ )
According to question, situation can be drawn as follows.
Frequency of sound that the observer hear in the echo reflected from the cliff is given by
$$f' = \left( {\frac{v}{{v - {v_s}}}} \right)$$
where
$$f =$$ original frequency of source;
$$v =$$ velocity of sound
$${{v_s}} = $$ velocity of source
So, $$f' = \left( {\frac{{330}}{{330 - 15}}} \right)800 = 838\,Hz$$
