Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A car moving at 30 m/s emits a sound of frequency 500 Hz. What frequency does an observer standing still hear as the car approaches?
  • Doppler Effect – The change in frequency or wavelength of a wave in relation to an observer moving relative to the source of the wave.
  • Relative Velocity – Understanding how the speed of the source and observer affects the perceived frequency.
  • Frequency Calculation – Applying the Doppler effect formula to calculate the observed frequency.
