A man sets his watch by the sound of a siren placed at a distance $1 \,km$ away. If the velocity of sound is $330 \,m/s$
AHis watch is set $3 sec$. faster
BHis watch is set $3 sec$. slower
C
His watch is set correctly
D
None of the above

BHis watch is set $3 sec$. slower
b (b) ${\rm{Time}} = \frac{{{\rm{Distance }}}}{{{\rm{Velocity}}}} = \frac{{1000}}{{330}} = 3.03\,\sec $.
Sound will be heard after $3.03 \,sec.$ So his watch is set $3sec$, slower.

A uniform narrow $1.95\,\, m$ long pipe is open at both ends. It resonates at two successive harmonic of frequency $275\,\, Hz$ and $330 \,Hz.$The speed of sound in the tube is ...... $m/s$
Find the frequency of minimum distance between compression & rarefaction of a wire. If the length of the wire is $1m$ & velocity of sound in air is $360\, m/s$ .... $sec^{-1}$
Two trains move towards each other with the same speed. The speed of sound is $340 \;m / s$. If the height of the tone of the whistle of one of them heard on the other changes $9 / 8$ times, then the speed of each train should be ........... $m/sec$
Two cars $A$ and $B$ are moving away from each other in opposite directions. Both the cars are moving with a speed of $20\, ms^{-1}$ with respect to the ground. If an observer in car $A$ detects a frequency $2000\, Hz$ of the sound coming from car $B$, what is the natural frequency of the sound source of car $B$ .... $Hz$ ? (speed of sound in air $= 340\, ms^{-1}$)
A train moving towards a hill at a speed of $72\ km/hr$ sounds a whistle of frequency $500\ Hz$ . A wind is blowing from the hill at a speed of $36\ km/hr$ . If the speed of sound in air is $340\ m/s$ , the frequency heard by a man on the hill (nearly) is ... $Hz$
An air column in a pipe, which is closed at one end, will be in resonance wtih a vibrating tuning fork of frequency $264\, Hz$ if the length of the column in $cm$ is (velocity of sound $= 330\, m/s$)
A pipe’s lower end is immersed in water such that the length of air column from the top open end has a certain length $25\,\, cm$. The speed of sound in air is $350 \,\,m/s$. The air column is found to resonate with a tuning fork of frequency $1750 \,\,Hz$. By what minimum distance should the pipe be raised in order to make the air column resonate again with the same tuning fork ... $cm$ ?
The figure shows four progressive waves $A, B, C$ and $D $ with their phases expressed with respect to the wave $A$. It can be concluded from the figure that
An open pipe resonates with a tuning fork of frequency $500 Hz$. it is observed that two successive nodes are formed at distances $16$ and $46 cm $ from the open end. The speed of sound in air in the pipe is ..... $m/s$
