Here, VS=0,Vob=18(185)=5ms−1
Frequency, fdirect=(320320−5)640=630Hz
freflected=(320320+5)640=650Hz
Thus, beat frequency, fbeat=650−630=20Hz
JEE Main 2022 — Physics Waves & Oscillations
An observer is riding on a bicycle and moving towards a hill at 18kmh−1. He hears a sound from a source at some distance behind him directly as well as after its reflection from the hill. If the original frequency of the sound as emitted by source is 640Hz and velocity of the sound in air is 320ms−1, the beat frequency between the two sounds heard by observer will be _____ Hz.

In an open organ pipe $\nu_{3}$ and $\nu_{6}$ are $3^{\text {rd }}$ and $6^{\text {th }}$ harmonic frequencies, respectively. If $\nu_{6}-\nu_{3}=2200 \mathrm{~Hz}$ then length of the pipe is $\_\_\_\_$ mm . (Take velocity of sound in air is $330 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$.)
A transverse wave on a string is described by $y = 3\sin(36t + 0.018x + \pi/4)$, where $x, y$ are in cm and $t$ in seconds. The least distance between the two successive crests in the wave is _____ cm. (Nearest integer) ($\pi = 3.14$)
Two waves of same frequency and amplitude travel in opposite directions. The resulting pattern is:
A spring-mass system oscillates with angular frequency ω. If the mass is doubled and the spring constant is halved, the new angular frequency is:
The time period of a simple harmonic oscillator is $T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$. Measured value of mass $(m)$ of the object is 10 g with an accuracy of 10 mg and time for 50 oscillations of the spring is found to be 60 s using a watch of 2 s resolution. Percentage error in determination of spring constant $(k)$ is $\_\_\_\_$ \%.
