$A$ stationary source emits sound of frequency $f_0 = 492 \,Hz$. The sound is reflected by a large car approaching the source with a speed of $v_c = 2 \,ms^{-1}$. The reflected signal is received by the source and superposed with the original. What will be the beat frequency of the resulting signal in $Hz$? (Given that the speed of sound in air is $v = 330 \,ms^{-1}$ and the car reflects the sound at the frequency it has received).
