A locomotive whistle has a fundamental frequency of 200 hertz. A train is drawn by this locomotive, at one-tenth the speed of sound, towards you. The frequency as you hear it, is about
For open pipes f = v/(2L); beat frequency Δf = v(1/0.20 - 1/0.201)/2 = 5 ⇒ v ≈ 402 m/s.

A person carrying a whistle emitting continuously a note of 272 Hz is running towards a reflecting surface with a speed of 18 km/hr. The speed of sound in air is 345 m/s. The number of beats heard by him is?
The reflected frequency heard by the runner is f'(v+vs)/(v-vs); beat frequency = |f'−f| = 2f·vs/(v−vs). With f=272 Hz, vs=18 km/h=5 m/s and v=345 m/s this gives 8 beats/s.

The most helpful approach to radar system for monitoring the speed of affecting vehicles is
Doppler radar measures velocity via frequency shift and is commonly used for speed monitoring of moving vehicles.

A sound wave travelling with a velocity v in a medium A reaches a point on the interface of medium A and medium B. If the velocity in the medium B be 2v, then the angle of incidence for total internal reflection of the wave will be
Temperature changes the speed of waves in the medium; for a source of fixed frequency (tuning fork) the wavelength changes accordingly.

A piano string 1.5 m long is made of steel of density 7.7×10^3 kg m^-3 and Young's modulus 2×10^11 N m^-2. It is maintained at a tension which produces an elastic strain of 1%. The fundamental frequency of transverse vibration of the string is
