Problem

A siren emitting sound of frequency 1000 Hz1000\,\text{Hz} moves away from you towards a cliff at a speed of 10 m s−110\,\text{m s}^{-1}. (a) What is the frequency of the sound heard directly from the siren? (b) What is the frequency of the sound heard after reflection from the cliff? (c) What beat frequency is heard? Take the speed of sound in air as 330 m s−1330\,\text{m s}^{-1}.
