    Initially wall will act as observer, so with the help of Doppler’s effect, we can write

    f ' = c c v 0 f 0  

    Now wall will act as source of sound of frequency f’, so With the help of Doppler’s effect, we can write

    f ' ' = c + v 0 c f ' = c + v 0 c v 0 f 0              

    5 0 0 = ( c + v 0 c v 0 ) 4 0 0 5 c 5 v 0 = 4 c + 4 v 0 v 0 = c 9 = 3 3 0 9 m / s = 3 3 0 9 × 1 8 5 k m / h = 1 3 2 k m / h
