Problem 4.180

A source of sonic oscillations with frequency v0=1700 Hzv_{0}=1700 \mathrm{~Hz} and a receiver are located on the same normal to a wall. Both the source and the receiver are stationary, and the wall recedes from the source with velocity u=6.0 cm/s.u=6.0 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s} . Find the beat frequency registered by the receiver. The velocity of sound is equal to'. v=340 m/sv=340 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}.

Reveal Answer
v=2v0u/(v+u)=0.60 Hzv=2 v_{0} u /(v+u)=0.60 \mathrm{~Hz}
