A sound wave of frequency $\nu$ travels horizontally to the right. It is reflected from a large vertical plane surface moving to the left with a speed $v.$ The speed of sound in the medium is $c,$ then
  • AThe frequency of the reflected wave is $\frac{{\nu (c + v)}}{{c - v}}$
  • BThe wavelength of the reflected wave is $\frac{{c(c - v)}}{{\nu (c + v)}}$
  • CThe number of waves striking the surface per second is $\frac{{\nu (c + v)}}{c}$
  • D
    All of the above.
