Question
A bat emits a sound at a frequency of 30.0 kHz as it approaches a wall. The bat detects beats such that the
frequency of the echo is 900 Hz higher than the frequency the bat is emitting. What is the speed of the bat? The
speed of sound in air is 340 m/s.

Answer:
5.02 m/s
Explanation:
given,
frequency of sound emitted by bat, = 30 kHz = 30000 Hz
beat frequency detected by bat = 900 Hz
Speed of sound, v = 340 m/s
Using Doppler’s effect formula
Hence, the speed of bat is equal to 5.02 m/s
