Consider a source of sound S and an observer P. The sound source is of frequency n0. The frequency observed by P is found to be n1 if P approaches S at speed v and S is stationary ; n2 if S approaches P at a speed v and P is stationary and, n3 if each of P and S has speed v/2 towards one another. Now,
Why this question? Concepts: It is a classic example which covers the cases of source moving, observer moving and both moving simultaneously, and also displays the power of multiple variants of one single formula! |
