Question

A speaker at the front of a room and an identical speaker at the rear of the room are being driven at 456 Hz by the same sound source. A student walks at a uniform rate of 1.06 m/s away from one speaker and toward the other. How many beats does the student hear per second? (Take the speed of sound to be 343 m/s.) Hint: The Doppler effect causes both frequencies to be shifted. The difference between those two frequencies is what causes the beats.
