Two sources of sound placed close to each other, are emitting progressive waves given by
 $y_1 = 4\,\,sin\,\,600\pi t$ and  $y_2 = 5\,\,sin\,\,608\pi t.$

An observer located near these two sources of sound will hear

$f_{1}=300$

$\mathrm{f}_{2}=304$

$\therefore \mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{beat}}=\mathrm{f}_{2}-\mathrm{f}_{1}=304-300=4$

intensity ratio $=\frac{\mathrm{I}_{\max }}{\mathrm{I}_{\min }}=\frac{\mathrm{A}_{\max }^{2}}{\mathrm{A}_{\min }^{2}}=\frac{(4+5)^{2}}{(5-4)^{2}}=\frac{81}{1}$

    A source, approaching with speed $u$ towards the open end of a stationary pipe of length $L$, is emitting a sound of frequency $f_5$. The farther end of the pipe is closed. The speed of sound in air is $v$ and $f_0$ is the fundamental frequency of the pipe. For which of the following combination(s) of $u$ and $f_5$, will the sound reaching the pipe lead to a resonance?

    $(A)$ $u=0.8 v$ and $f_5=f_0$

    $(B)$ $u=0.8 v$ and $f_5=2 f_0$

    $(C)$ $u=0.8 v$ and $f_5=0.5 f_0$

    $(D)$ $u=0.5 v$ and $f_5=1.5 f_0$
