A bat emitting an ultrasonic wave of frequency \(4.5 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~Hz}\) at speed of \(6 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) between two parallel walls. The two frequencies heard by the bat will be

  1. A \(4.67 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~Hz}, 4.34 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~Hz}\)
  2. B \(4.34 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~Hz}, 4.67 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~Hz}\)
  3. C \(4.5 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~Hz}, 5.4 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~Hz}\)
  4. D \(4.67 \times 10^3 \mathrm{~Hz}, 4.34 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~Hz}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(4.67 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~Hz}, 4.34 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~Hz}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The frequency of the source is \(f_0 = 4.5 \times 10^4 \text{ Hz}\). The speed of the bat is \(v_b = 6 \text{ m/s}\). The speed of sound in air is taken as \(v = 330 \text{ m/s}\). When the bat moves towards one wall, the wall acts as a stationary observer receiving the sound…
