Two persons A and B each carrying a source of sound of frequency 600Hz are standing a few meters apart in a quiet field. Calculate the ratio of the beat frequencies heard by A and B when A moves towards B with a velocity of 3 m/s. Velocity of sound in air = 340 m/s. 2.Two tuning fork with natural frequencies f Hz, moves relative to a necessary observer. One fork moves away from the observer while other moves towards him at the same speed. The observer hears the beat frequency of 3Hz. Find the speed of tuning fork in terms of P speed of sound. 3. A car while travelling produces noise of intensity level of 94 decibel. At a particular point on road maximum permissible level of noise is 100 decibels. Find how many such identical cars can be allowed to pass through that point simultaneously if sound waves emitted by all cars are in same phase at that point ? 4. (a) A band playing music at a frequency f is moving towards a wall at a speed vb . A motorist is following the band with a speed vm. If v is the speed of sound, obtain an expression for the beat frequency heard by the motorist. (b) The first overtone of an open pipe and the fundamental note of a pipe closed at one end give 5 beats/sec when sounded together. If the length of the pipe closed at one end of 25cm, what are the possible lengths of the open pipe? (Neglect end corrections and take the velocity of sound in air to be 340 m/s). 5. Third overtone of a closed organ pipe is in unison with fourth harmonic of an open organ pipe. Find the ratio of the lengths of the pipes.
