Types Of Waves

Which one of the following statements is true?

The driver of a car travelling at a speed of 30 m/s towards a hill sounds a horn of frequency 600 Hz. If the velocity of sound in air is 330 m/s, the frequency of reflected sound as heard by the driver is:

1. 550 Hz

2. 555.5 Hz

3. 720 Hz

4. 500 Hz

A source of sound S emitting waves of frequency 100 Hz and an observer O are located at some distance from each other. The source is moving with a speed of 19.4 ms^-1 at an angle of ${60}^0$ with the source-observer line as shown in the figure. The observer is at rest. The apparent frequency observed by the observer (velocity of sound in air 330 ms^-1), is: 

1. 100 Hz

2. 103 Hz

3. 106 Hz

4. 97 Hz

Two cars moving in opposite directions approach each other at speeds of 22 m/s and 16.5 m/s, respectively. The driver of the first car blows a horn with a frequency of 400 Hz. The frequency heard by the driver of the second car is [assume velocity of sound to be 340 m/s]:

1. 361 Hz

2. 411 Hz

3. 448 Hz

4. 350 Hz
