Physics - Sound Wave Question with Solution | TestHub

$S_1$ and $S_2$ are two identical sound sources of frequency $656 \mathrm{Hz}$. The source $S_1$ is located at $O$ and $S_2$ moves anti-clockwise with a uniform speed $4\sqrt{2} \mathrm{m} {\mathrm{s}}^{-1}$ on a circular path around $O$, as shown in the figure. There are three points $P, Q$ and $R$ on this path such that $P$ and $R$ are diametrically opposite while $Q$ is equidistant from them. A sound detector is placed at point $P$. The source $S_1$ can move along direction $OP$.

[Given: The speed of sound in air is $324 \mathrm{m} {\mathrm{s}}^{-1}$]

Consider both sources emitting sound. When$S_2$is at$R$and$S_1$approaches the detector with a speed$4 \mathrm{m} {\mathrm{s}}^{-1}$, the beat frequency measured by the detector is _____$\mathrm{Hz}$.
