Question

A source of sound of frequency 256 Hz is moving towards a wall with a velocity of 5 m/s. Velocity of sound is 330 m/s. The number of beats per second heard by an observer standing between the source and the wall is nearly:

Solution

Correct option is

 

In this case, the observer stands between the source and the reflecting wall. For the direct sound, the frequency n’ is given by:

                           

                                

As the echo source also moves towards the observer,
