Question
The change in frequency due to Doppler effect does not depend on
Options
the speed of the source
the speed of the observer
the frequency of the source
separation between the source and the observer.

Solution
separation between the source and the observer \[v_0 = \left( \frac{v \pm u_0}{v \pm u_s} \right) v_s\]
It is clear from the equation that the change in frequency due to Doppler effect depends only on the relative motion and not on the distance between the source and the observer.

In discussing Doppler effect, we use the word "apparent frequency". Does it mean that the frequency of the sound is still that of the source and it is some physiological phenomenon in the listener's ear that gives rise to Doppler effect? Think for the observer approaching the source and for the source approaching the observer.
State the expression for apparent frequency when listener is stationary and source is moving towards the listener.
What is meant by the Doppler effect?
Discuss the following case:
Source in motion and Observer at rest
- Source moves towards observer
- Source moves away from the observer
Discuss the following case-
Observer in motion and Source at rest.
- Observer moves towards Source
- Observer resides away from the Source
Discuss the following case-
Both are in motion
- Source and Observer approach each other
- Source and Observer resides from each other
- Source chases Observer
- Observer chases Source
