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
A$18/17$

A man is standing between two parallel cliffs and fires a gun. If he hears first and second echoes after $1.5 \,s$ and $3.5\,s$ respectively, the distance between the cliffs is .... $ m$ (Velocity of sound in air $= 340 ms^{-1}$)
A train is moving on a straight track with speed $20\ ms^{-1}$. It is blowing its whistle at the frequency of $1000\ Hz$. The percentage change in the frequency heard by a person standing near the track as the train passes him is ( speed of sound $=320$ $ms^{-1}$ ) close to .... $\%$
Beats are produced by two waves given by $y_1 = a\,\, sin\,\,2000\,\, \pi t$ and $y_2 = a\,\, sin\,\, 2008\,\, \pi t$ . The number of beats heard per second is
An observer standing near the sea shore observes $54$ waves per minute. If the wavelength of the water wave is $10m$ then the velocity of water wave is .... $ms^{-1}$
When two tuning forks (fork $1$ and fork $2$) are sounded simultaneously, $4$ beats per second are heard. Now, some tape is attached on the prong of the fork $2$. When the tuning forks are sounded again, $6$ beats per second are heard. If the frequency of fork $1$ is $200\, Hz$, then what was the original frequency of fork $2$? .... $Hz$
A simple harmonic progressive wave is represented by the equation : $y = 8\sin 2\pi (0.1x - 2t)$ where $x$ and $y$ are in $cm$ and $t$ is in seconds. At any instant the phase difference between two particles separated by $2.0 \,cm$ in the $x-$direction is ..... $^o$
Two trains, one coming towards and another going away from an observer both at $4\; m/s$ produce whistle simultaneously of frequency $300 \;Hz$. Find the number of beats produced
The wavelength of sound waves in hydrogen gas corresponding to the lower limit of audibility is ........ $m$ (speed of sound in hydrogen gas is about $1350 \,m / s$ )
