Detailed Solution

The number of waves encountered by the moving plane per unit time is given by
f'= distance travelled  wavelength =c+vλ=cλ1+vc=f1+vc
The stationary observer meets the frequency f of the incident wave and receives the reflected wave of frequency f '' emitted by the moving platform as

f''=f'1-vc=f1+vc1-vc=f(c+v)(c-v)

λ''=cf''=cf(c-v)(c+v)

 Beat frequency =f"-f'

f1+vc1-vc-f=2vfc-v
