First by using doppler’s effect we can obtain the frequency of sound received by the wall considering it is a moving observer then we consider it as a moving source of this frequency and then we can find the frequency received by the driver as an observer. The analysis will result in option (A) and (C) correct
n1=nV+VωVVω
% change in frequency is
Δnn×100=(10201000)1000×100=2
