Question
In the figure shown a source of sound of frequency 510 Hz moves with constant velocity vs = 20 m/s in the direction shown. The wind is blowing at a constant velocity vw = 20 m/s towards an observer who is at rest at point B. Corresponding to the sound emitted by the source at initial position A, the frequency detected by the observer is equal to (speed of sound relative to air = 330 m/s)
- 510 Hz
- 500 Hz
- 525 Hz
- 550 Hz
The correct answer is: 525 Hz

Two trains A and B are moving with speed 20 m/s and 30 m/s respectively in the same direction on the same straight track, with B ahead of A. The engines are at the front ends. The engine of train A blows a long whistle. Assume that the sound of the whistle is composed of components varying in frequency from ƒ1 = 800 Hz to ƒ2 = 1120 Hz, as shown in the figure. The spread in the frequency (highest frequency–lowest frequency) is thus 320 Hz. The speed of sound in still air is 340 m/s. The spread of frequency as observed by the passengers in train B is :–
