A bat moving at $10\,ms^{-1}$ towards a wall sends a sound signal of $8000\,Hz$ towards it. On reflection it hears a sound of frequency $f$. The value of $f$ in $Hz$ is close to (speed of sound $= 320\,ms^{-1}$ )

Reflected frequency of sound reaching bat

$ = \left[ {\frac{{V - \left( {{V_0}} \right)}}{{V - {V_s}}}} \right]f = \left[ {\frac{{V + {V_0}}}{{V - {V_s}}}} \right]f = \frac{{V + 10}}{{V - 10}}f$

$ = \left( {\frac{{320 + 10}}{{320 - 10}}} \right) \times 8000 = 8516Hz$

    A person blows into open-end of a long pipe. As a result, a high-pressure pulse of air travels down the pipe. When this pulse reaches the other end of the pipe.

    $(A)$ a high-pressure pulse starts traveling up the pipe, if the other end of the pipe is open.

    $(B)$ a low-pressure pulse starts traveling up the pipe, if the other end of the pipe is open.

    $(C)$ a low-pressure pulse starts traveling up the pipe, if the other end of the pipe is closed.

    $(D)$ a high-pressure pulse starts traveling up the pipe, if the other end of the pipe is closed.
