b (b) Observer is moving away from siren $ 1$ and towards the siren $2.$
Hearing frequency of sound emitted by siren $1$
${n_1} = n\left( {\frac{{v - {v_0}}}{v}} \right) = 330\,\left( {\frac{{330 - 2}}{{330}}} \right) = 328Hz$
Hearing frequency of sound emitted by siren $2$
${n_2} = n\,\left( {\frac{{v + {v_0}}}{v}} \right) = 330\,\left( {\frac{{330 + 2}}{{330}}} \right) = 332Hz$
Hence, beat frequency $ = {n_2} - {n_1} = 332 - 328 = 4.$

If $n _{1}, n_{2}$ and $n _{3}$ are the fundamental frequencies of three segments into which a string is divided, then the original fundamental frequency $n$ of the string is given by
In Melde's experiment, the string vibrates in $4$ loops when a $50 \,gram$ weight is placed in the pan of weight $15\, gram.$ To make the string to vibrates in $6$ loops the weight that has to be removed from the pan is
Two tuning forks have frequencies $450\, Hz$ and $454\, Hz$ respectively. On sounding these forks together, the time interval between successive maximum intensities will be .... $sec$
A cylindrical tube $(L = 120\,cm.)$ is resonant with a tuning fork of frequency $330\,Hz$. If it is filling by water then to get resonance minimum length of water column is ..... $cm$ $(V_{air} = 330\,m/s)$
When two sound sources of the same amplitude but of slightly different frequencies $v_1$ and $v_2$ are sounded simultaneously, the sound one hears has a frequency equal to
$Assertion :$ For the formation of stationary waves the medium must be bounded having definite boundaries.
$Reason :$ In the stationary wave, some particles of the medium remain permanently at rest.
An observer moves towards a stationary source of sound, with a velocity one-fifth of the velocity of sound. What is the percentage increase in the apparent frequency ... $\%$
