Three musicians experiment with the Doppler effect. Musician $A$ rides in a car at a speed $u$ directly away from musician $B$ who is stationary. Musician $C$ rides in a car directly toward $B$ and travels at the same speed as $A$ . Musician $A$ plays a note at frequency $f_A$ on his trumpet $B$ hears the note, adjusts his trumpet, and plays the same note he heard. Choose the incorrect statement
  • AThe note heard by $C$ coming from $B$ will be the same pitch as $f_A$ 
  • BThe note heard by $A$ coming from $B$ will be higher in pitch than $f_A$
  • CThe note heard by $A$ coming from $B$ will be lower in pitch than $f_A$
  • DThe note heard by $B$ coming from $A$ will be lower in pitch than $f_A$

    A vibrating string of certain length $\ell$ under a tension $\mathrm{T}$ resonates with a mode corresponding to the first overtone (third harmonic) of an air column of length $75 \mathrm{~cm}$ inside a tube closed at one end. The string also generates $4$ beats per second when excited along with a tuning fork of frequency $\mathrm{n}$. Now when the tension of the string is slightly increased the number of beats reduces $2$ per second. Assuming the velocity of sound in air to be $340 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$, the frequency $\mathrm{n}$ of the tuning fork in $\mathrm{Hz}$ is
