$A$ bat is flitting about in a cave,navigating via ultrasonic beeps. Assume that the sound emission frequency of the bat is $40\; kHz$. During one fast swoop directly toward a flat wall surface,the bat is moving at $0.03$ times the speed of sound in air. What frequency (in $kHz$) does the bat hear reflected off the wall?

An engine sounding a whistle of frequency $2000 \,Hz$ is receding from a stationary observer at $72 \,km/h$. What is the apparent frequency heard by the observer (in $\,Hz$)? The velocity of sound in air is $340 \,m/s$.

Two cars are moving towards each other at the speed of $50 \,m/s$. If one of the cars blows a horn at a frequency of $250 \,Hz$, the wavelength of the sound perceived by the driver of the other car is (Speed of sound in air $= 350 \,m/s$) (in $\,cm$)

$A$ stationary source is emitting sound at a fixed frequency $f_0$,which is reflected by two cars approaching the source. The difference between the frequencies of sound reflected from the cars is $1.2\%$ of $f_0$. What is the difference in the speeds of the cars (in $km/h$) to the nearest integer? The cars are moving at constant speeds much smaller than the speed of sound,which is $330 \ m/s$.
