PhysicsWavesJEE Main 2022

An observer is riding on a bicycle and moving towards a hill at 18 . 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 640 Hz and velocity of the sound in air is 320 m/s, the beat frequency between the two sounds heard by observer will be Hz.

Answer: 20

Solution

The observer speed is 18 km/h = 5 m/s. The direct sound (source behind the observer, observer moving away from it) has − 5)/320 = Hz. The sound
