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.
