An observer is riding on a bicycle and moving towards a hill at 18kmh−118\mathrm{km}{h}^{-1}18kmh−1. He hears a sound from a source at some distance behind him directly as well as after its reflection from the hill. If the original frequency of the sound as emitted by source is 640Hz640\mathrm{Hz}640Hz and velocity of the sound in air is 320ms−1320m{s}^{-1}320ms−1, the beat frequency between the two sounds heard by observer will be _____ Hz\mathrm{Hz}Hz.
