A train approaching a railway plateform with a speed of $20\,\,m\,s^{-1}$ starts blowing the whistle speed of sound in air is $340\,\,ms^{-1}.$ If frequency of the emitted sound from the whistle is $640\,\,Hz,$ the frequency of sound as heard by person standing on the platform is .... $Hz$

When a wave travels in a medium, the particle displacement is given by : $y = asin\, 2 \pi \,(bt -cx)$, where $a, b$ and $c$ are constants. The maximum particle velocity will be twice the wave velocity if
Equation of a plane progressive wave is given by $y = 0.6\, \sin 2\pi \left( {t - \frac{x}{2}} \right)$.On reflection from a denser medium its amplitude becomes $2/3$ of the amplitude of the incident wave. The equation of the reflected wave is :-
A small source of sound moves on a circle as shown in the figure and an observer is standing on $O.$ Let $n_1,\, n_2$ and $n_3$ be the frequencies heard when the source is at $A, B$ and $C$ respectively. Then
The phase difference corresponding to path difference of $x$ is
A tuning of fork of frequency $392\, Hz$, resonates with $50\, cm$ length of a string under tension $(T)$. If length of the string is decreased by $2\%$, keeping the tension constant, the number of beats heard when the string and the tuning fork made to vibrate simultaneously is
