does Q's own driver hear?
7.(a) Explain beats with example. Write its two uses.
(b) A train sounds its horn before it sets off from the station and an observer waiting on the plateform estimates its frequency at 1200 Hz. The train then
moves off and accelerates steadily. Fifty seconds after departure, the driver sounds the horn again and the plateform observer estimates the frequency at
