A sound source is moving on a circular path of radius $R$ with constant angular speed $\omega $ in anticlockwise direction and emits a frequency $n$ . An observer performs simple harmonic along the path $QPR$ with time period $T = \frac {2\pi }{\omega }$ as shown in the figure. If at $t = 0$ source is at $A$ and observer is at $Q$ and assume $OP$ is very large as compare to radius $R$ and $QP$ , then 
  • AObserver will hear maximum frequency at $P$ if source is at $B$
  • BObserver will hear maximum frequency at $P$ if source is at $D$
  • CObserver will hear maximum frequencyat $Q$ if source is at $B$
  • DObserver will hear maximum frequency at $Q$ if source is at $D$

    A train moves towards a stationary observer with a speed $34 \,m / s$. The train sounds a whistle and its frequency registered by the observer is $f_1$. If the speed of the train is reduced to $17 \,m / s$, the frequency registered is $f_2$. If the speed of sound is $340 \,m / s$ then the ratio $\frac{f_1}{f_2}$ is ..........

     A narrow tube is bent in the form of a circle of radius $R,$ as shown in the figure. Two small holes $S$ and $D$ are made in the tube at the positions right angle to each other. A source placed at $S$ generated a wave of intensity $I_0$ which is equally divided into two parts : One part travels along the longer path, while the other travels along the shorter path. Both the part waves meet at the point $D$ where a detector is placed If a maxima is formed at the detector then, the magnitude of wavelength $\lambda$ of the wave produced is given by $\pi R$
