A source of sound with a frequency n = 2000 Hz moves along a line at right angles to the wall with a velocity vs=0.33 m/s. Two stationary detectors, D1 and D2 , are placed on the path of the source as shown in the figure. The velocity of sound in air is v = 330 m/s. Then:
                  
1. Only D1 records beats

2. Only D2 records beats

3. Both D1 and D2 record beats

4. Neither D1 nor D2 record beats
