A bat moving at 10 m s − 1 towards a wall sends a sound signal of 8000 Hz towards it. On reflection, it hears a sound of frequency f . The value of f in Hz is close to ( speed of sound = 320 m s − 1 )

Question

A bat moving at 10 m s − 1 towards a wall sends a sound signal of 8000 Hz towards it. On reflection, it hears a sound of frequency f . The value of f in Hz is close to ( speed of sound = 320 m s − 1 ), 8258, 8424, 8000, 8516

We can assume that reflected wave is due to image of B coming with same speed in opposite direction Observer f = v + 10 v - 10 × f 0 = 320 + 10 320 - 10 × 8000 = 330 310 × 8000 = 33 31 × 8000 = 8516 Hz
