A train, standing in a station yard, blows a whistle of frequency $400 \,\,Hz$ in still air. The wind starts blowing in the direction from the yard to the station with a speed of $10\,\,m/s.$ Given that the speed of sound in still air is $340\,\,m/s.$ Mark the INCORRECT statement :
AThe frequency of sound as heard by an observer standing on the platform is $400\,\,Hz.$
BThe speed of sound for the observer standing on the platform is $350\,\,m/s.$
C
The frequency of sound as heard by the observer standing on the platform will increase.
D
The wavelength of sound as received by the observer standing on the platform will increase.

C
The frequency of sound as heard by the observer standing on the platform will increase.
c Frequency will change when there is relative motion between source and an observer therefore frequency will remain same.
$\mathrm{v}=\mathrm{n} \lambda$
Due to velocity of wind speed of sound increases $\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{S}}=\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{sound}}+\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{o}}$

A string is fixed at both ends vibrates in a resonant mode with a separation $2.0 \,\,cm$ between the consecutive nodes. For the next higher resonant frequency, this separation is reduced to $1.6\,\, cm$. The length of the string is .... $cm$
The ratio of intensities between two coherent sound sources is $4: 1$. The difference of loudness in dB between maximum and minimum intensities when they interfere in the space is ..........
Three waves of equal frequency having amplitudes $10 \,\mu \, m, 4 \, \mu \,m$ and $7 \mu m$ arrive at a given point with successive phase difference of $\frac{\pi }{2}$. The amplitude of the resulting wave in $\mu \,m$ is given by
The path difference between the two waves ${y_1} = {a_1}\sin \,\left( {\omega t - \frac{{2\pi x}}{\lambda }} \right)$ and ${y_2} = {a_2}\cos \,\left( {\omega t - \frac{{2\pi x}}{\lambda } + \phi } \right)$ is

A $SONAR$ system fixed in a submarine operates at a frequency $40.0\; kHz$. An enemy submarine moves towards the $SONAR$ with a speed of $360 \;km h ^{-1}$. What is the frequency (in $Hz$) of sound reflected by the submarine? Take the speed of sound in water to be $1450\; m s ^{-1}$
An open tube is in resonance with string (frequency of vibration of tube is $n_0$). If tube is dipped in water so that $75\%$ of length of tube is inside water, then the ratio of the frequency of tube to string now will be
Suppose that the speed of sound in air at a given temperature is $400 m/sec$. An engine blows a whistle at $1200 Hz$ frequency. It is approaching an observer at the speed of $100 m/sec$. What is the apparent frequency as heard by the observer .... $Hz$
