Two persons $A$ and $B$, each carrying a source of sound of frequency $n$, are standing a few metres apart in a quiet field. $A$ starts moving towards $B$ with a speed $u$. If $v$ is the speed of sound, the number of beats heard per second by $A$ will be
A$\frac{{nu}}{v}$
B$\frac{{2nu}}{v}$
C$\frac{{nu}}{{\left( {v + u} \right)}}$
D$\frac{{nu}}{{\left( {v - u} \right)}}$

A$\frac{{nu}}{v}$
a No. of beats $=\mathrm{n}_{1}-\mathrm{n}_{2}$
${=n\left[\frac{v+u}{v-0}\right]-n} $
${=\frac{n(v+u)}{v}-n=\frac{n u}{v}}$

A tunning fork produces $5\, beats/sec$ when the length of a sonometer wire is either $1\, m$ or $1.05\, m$. Calculate the frequency of tunning fork .... $Hz$
A driver in a car, approaching a vertical wall notices that the frequency of his car horn, has changed from $440\, Hz$ to $480 \,Hz ,$ when it gets reflected from the wall. If the speed of sound in air is $345 \,m / s ,$ then the speed of the car is $.......km/hr$
A tuning fork gives $4$ beats with $50 cm$ length of a sonometer wire. If the length of the wire is shortened by $1 cm$, the number of beats is still the same. The frequency of the fork is
A police car moving at $22 m/s$, chases a motorcyclist. The police man sounds his horn at $176 Hz$, while both of them move towards a stationary siren of frequency $165 Hz$. Calculate the speed of the motorcycle, if it is given that he does not observes any beats .... $m/s$
A transverse pulse generated at the bottom of a uniform rope of length $L$, travels in upward direction. The time taken by it to travel the full length of rope will be
The average density of Earth’s crust $10\ km$ beneath the surface is $2.7\ gm/cm^3$ . The speed of longitudinal seismic waves at that depth is $5.4\ km/s$ . The bulk modulus of Earth’s crust considering its behaviour as fluid at that depth is
