Question

Physics Question on Waves

Doppler shift in frequency does not depend upon

A

the frequency of wave produced

B

the speed of the source

C

distance between source and observer

D

the speed of the observer

Answer

distance between source and observer

Explanation

Solution

Change of frequency due to the Doppler effect is : nˉ=n(vv0vvs).\bar{n}=n\left(\frac{v-v_{0}}{v-v_{s}}\right) . This is independent of distance between source and observer.
