(b) ${n_1}{l_1} = {n_2}{l_2} \Rightarrow 250 \times 0.6 = {n_2} \times 0.4 \Rightarrow {n_2} = 375$

$ \Rightarrow {n_2} = 375\,Hz$

    An observer is riding on a bicycle and moving towards a hill at $18\,km\,h ^{-1}$. He hears a sound from a source at some distance behind him directly as well as after its reflection from the hill. If the original frequency of the sound as emitted by source is $640\,\,Hz$ and velocity of the sound in air is $320\,m / s$, the beat frequency between the two sounds heard by observer will be $...Hz$.
