A rocket is moving at a speed of \(200\) ms^–1 towards a stationary target. While moving, it emits a wave of frequency \(1000\) Hz. Some of the sound reaching the target gets reflected back to the rocket as an echo. The frequency of the sound as detected by the target and the frequency of the echo as detected by the rocket respectively are: (speed of sound = \(330\) m/s)
1. \(4080\) Hz and \(2540\) Hz
2.  \(1000\) Hz and \(1000\) Hz
3.  \(2540\) Hz and \(4080\) Hz
4.  \(2540\) Hz and \(2540\) Hz

The given diagram shows the progression of a harmonic wave from time t to t + $∆t$ where the crest of the wave displaces by $∆x$ . Then the speed of the wave will be:

$1. \frac{∆t}{∆x}$
$2. \frac{2∆x}{∆t}$
$3. \frac{∆x}{∆t}$
$4. \frac{2∆t}{∆x}$
