Complete question:

while hunting in a cave a bat emits sounds wave of frequency 39 kilo hartz were moving towards a wall with a constant velocity of 8.32 meters per second take the speed of sound as 340 meters per second. calculate the frequency​ reflected off the wall to the bat?

Answer:

The frequency reflected by the stationary wall to the bat is 41 kHz

Explanation:

Given;

frequency emitted by the bat, = 39 kHz

velocity of the bat, [tex]v_b[/tex] = 8.32 m/s

speed of sound in air, v = 340 m/s

The apparent frequency of sound striking the wall is calculated as;

[tex]f' = f(\frac{v}{v- v_b} )\\\\f' = 39,000(\frac{340}{340 -8.32} )\\\\f' = 39978.29 \ Hz[/tex]

The frequency reflected by the stationary wall to the bat is calculated as;

[tex]f_s = f'(\frac{v + v_b}{v} )\\\\f_s = 39978.29(\frac{340 + 8.32}{340} )\\\\f_s = 40,956.56 \ Hz[/tex]

[tex]f_s\approx 41 \ kHz[/tex]
