A vehicle, with a horn of frequency n is moving with a velocity of 30 m/s in a direction perpendicular to the straight line joining the observer and the vehicle. The observer perceives the sound to have a frequency n + n1.Then n1 is equal to : ( the sound velocity in air is 300 m/s)
n1 = 10n
n1 = 0
n1 = 0.1 n
n1 = -0.1 n
Each of the two strings of length 51.6 cm and 49.1 cm are tensioned separately by 20 N force. Mass per unit length of both the strings is same adn equal to 1 gm-1. When both the strings vibrate simultaneously the number of beats will be:

A wave enters to water from air. In air frequency, wavelength, intensity and velocity are n1, λ1, l1 and v1 respectively. In water the corresponding quantities are n2, λ2, l1and v2 respectively, then:
l1 = l2
n1 = n2
v1 = v2
λ1 = λ2
