    This question has Statement 1 and Statement 2.                                                     [JEE ONLINE 12-05-2012]
    Of the four choices given after the Statements, choose the one that best describes the two Statements.
    Statement 1: Bats emitting ultrasonic waves can detect the location of a prey by hearing the waves reflected from it.
    Statement 2: When the source and the detector are moving, the frequency of reflected waves is changed.

    A)  Statement 1 is false. Statement 2 is true.

    B)  Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false.

    C)  Statement 1 is true. Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is not the correct explanation of Statement 1.

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Bats catch the prey by hearing reflected ultrasonic waves.
    When the source and the detector (observer) are moving, frequency of reflected waves change. This is according to Doppler's effect.
