Answer:
A train approaching a hill at a speed of 40 km/hr sounds a whistle of frequency 600 Hz when it is at a distance of 1 km from a hill. A wind with a speed of 40 km/hr is blowing in the direction of motion of the train. The distance from the hill at which the echo from the hill is heard by the driver and its frequency (Velocity of sound in air = 1200 km/hr.)
SOLUTION
speed of sound in air is c and as the air is also moving the velocity of sound is where is the speed of air
The train sounds the whistle when it is at distance x from the hill. Sound moving with velocity v with respect to ground, takes time t to reach the hill
after the reflection from the sound waves travels towards the train hence now the velocity of sound is
let the distance travel by reflected wave be therefore time taken by it
the total time between echoing the whistle and its reflection meanwhile the train travels the distance with constant speed
Thus, the. echo is heard when train is 935 m from the hill.
Now, for the observer moving along with train,echo is a sound produced by a stationary source, i.e.,the hill. Hence as observed from ground, source is stationary and observer is moving towards source with speed 40 km/hr.
On the other hand, reflected sound travels opposite to wind velocity. That is, velocity of echo with respect to ground is v. Further, the source (hill) emitting sound of frequency f which is the frequency observed by the hill.
Thus, frequency of echo as heard by observer on train, is given by

A source of sound emitting a note of frequency moves towards an observer with a velocity equal to the velocity of sound. If the observer also moves away from the source with the same velocity , the apparent frequency heard by the observer is:
A source emitting a sound of frequency v is placed at a large distance from an observer. The source starts moving towards the observer with a uniform acceleration a. Find the frequency heard by the observer corresponding to the wave emitted just after the source starts. The speed of sound in the medium is v.
A source of sound and a detector are moving along the same line with same speed .
