An observer is riding on a bicycle and moving towards a hill at18 km h-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 is640 Hzand velocity of the sound in air is320 m s-1, the beat frequency between the two sounds heard by observer will be _____Hz.

Question diagram: An observer is riding on a bicycle and moving towards a hill
Answer:
20.00
Solution:

Here, VS=0,Vob=18518=5 m s-1

Frequency, fdirect =320-5320640=630 Hz

freflected =320+5320640=650 Hz

Thus, beat frequency, fbeat =650-630=20 Hz
