A stationary source emits sound waves of frequency $500\, Hz$. Two observers moving along a line passing through the source detect sound to be of frequencies $480\, Hz$ and $530\, Hz$. Their respective speeds are, in $m\,s^{-1}$ (Given speed of sound $= 300\, m/s$)

$ v= \frac{v+v_{0}}{v} v_{0}$

$\Rightarrow v_{0}=\left(\frac{v}{v_{0}}-1\right) v$

$v_{0}=\left(\frac{530}{500}-1\right) 300=18 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$

$v_{0}=\left|\left(\frac{480}{500}-1\right) 300\right|=12 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$

    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  The maximum value of $\lambda$ to produce a maxima at $D$ is given by

    Assume that the displacement$(s)$ of air is proportional to the pressure difference $(\Delta p)$ created by a sound wave. Displacement$(s)$ further depends on the speed of sound $(v),$ density of air $(\rho)$ and the frequency $(f)$ If $\Delta p \approx 10\, Pa , v  \approx 300\, m / s , p  \approx 1\, kg / m ^{3}$ and $f \approx  1000 \,Hz$, then $s$ will be the order of
