A source of sonic oscillations with frequency f0=1700 Hz and a receiver are located on the same normal to a wall. Both the source and the receiver are stationary, and the wall recedes from the source with velocity u=6.0 cm s-1. Find the beat frequency registered by the receiver. The velocity of sound is equal to v=340 m s-1.
