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

    A sound source is moving on a circular path of radius $R$ with constant angular speed $\omega $ in anticlockwise direction and emits a frequency $n$ . An observer performs simple harmonic along the path $QPR$ with time period $T = \frac {2\pi }{\omega }$ as shown in the figure. If at $t = 0$ source is at $A$ and observer is at $Q$ and assume $OP$ is very large as compare to radius $R$ and $QP$ , then
