As shown if Fig. a vibrating tuning fork of frequency 512 Hz is moving towards the wall with a speed `2(m)/(s)`. Take speed of sound as `v=340(m)/(s)` and answer the following questions. Q. Suppose that a listener is located at rest between the tuning fork and the wall. Number of beats heard by the listener per second will beA. 4B. 3C. 0D. 1

Answer» Correct Answer - B
The frequency heard directly from source is given by
`f_1=((v)/(v-v_S))f`
Here `v=340(m)/(s)`,`v_S=2(m)/(s)`,`f=512Hz`
`f_1=(340)/(338)xx512=515Hz`
the frequency of the wave reflected from wall will be same (no relative motion between wall and listener, so no change in frequency). Hence no beats are observed.
