A source of sound emits waves with frequency $f \,Hz$ and speed $V\, m/sec$. Two observers move away from this source in opposite directions each with a speed $0.2\, V$ relative to the source. The ratio of frequencies heard by the two observers will be
  • A$3:2$
  • B$2:3$
  • C$1:1$
  • D$4:10$

    A train moves towards a stationary observer with 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 speed of sound is $340\, m/s$, then the ratio $f_1/f_2$ is

    An earthquake generates both transverse $(S)$ and longitudinal $(P)$ sound waves in the earth. The speed of $S$ waves is about $4.5 \,km/s$ and that of $P$ waves is about $8.0 \,km/s.$ A seismograph records $P$ and $S$ waves from an earthquake. The first $P$ wave arrives $4.0\, min$ before the first $S$ wave. The epicenter of the earthquake is located at a distance about .... $km$
