Doppler Effect of Sound Waves
 

Doppler Effect of Sound Waves problem 27


A source emits a sound wave of a single frequency. The Doppler effect causes a different frequency of sound to be heard by a stationary observer. What is a requirement for the Doppler effect to occur?


  • a source that is moving as it produces the sound wave


  • a source that produces a polarised sound wave


  • a source that produces a sound wave of changing amplitude


  • a source that produces a sound wave of changing frequency
