A progressive wave travelling along the positive x-direction is represented by y(x,t) = Asin(kx – $$\omega $$t + $$\phi $$). Its snapshot at t = 0 is given in the figure.
For this wave, the phase $$\phi $$ is :

A source of sound S is moving with a velocity of 50 m/s towards a stationary observer. The observer measures the frequency of the source as 1000 Hz. What will be the apparent frequency of the source when it is moving away from the observer after crossing him? (Take velocity of sound in air is 350 m/s)

The correct figure that shows, schematically, the wave pattern produced by superposition of two waves of frequencies 9 Hz and 11 Hz, is :

A stationary source emits sound waves of frequency 500 Hz. Two observers moving along a line passing through the source detect sound to be of frequencies 480 Hz and 530 Hz. Their respective speeds are, in ms–1, (Given speed of sound = 300 m/s)
