Two stationary sources exist, each emitting waves of wavelength λ. If an observer moves from one source to the other with velocity u, then the number of beats heard by him is equal to:

1. 2uλ

2. uλ

3. μλ

4. μ2λ

Two vibrating tuning forks produce progressive waves given by \(Y_1 = 4 ~\mathrm{sin}~500 \pi \mathrm{t}\) and \(Y_2 = 2 ~\mathrm{sin}~506 \pi \mathrm{t}\). The number of beats produced per minute is:
1. \(3\) 2. \(360\)
3. \(180\) 4. \(60\)
