1
Doppler Effect Change in frequency when a source of sound is moving relative to an observer. Source of sound moving Source of sound stationary Hears lower frequency Hears higher frequency Link Link train
2
Derive the expression for the apparent frequency detected when a source of sound waves relative to stationary observer. Speed of source v s, source frequency f s, speed of sound v, Source moving toward stationary observer Source moving away from stationary observer For observer f = f s v v - v s () For observer f = f s v v + v s ()
3
The distance the source travels in 1 period = v s t =v s T = v s ÷ f s (observer) = distance travelled first wave in I period – distance travelled by source and 2 nd wave in 1 period. = v - v s f s f s = 1 ( v – v s ) f s For observer f = v ÷ = f s v v - v s () Source travelling towards observer
4
Derive the expression for the apparent frequency detected when an observer moves relative to a stationary source Speed of observer v o, frequency f s, speed of sound v, observer moving toward stationary source observer moving away from source For observer f = f s v + v o v () For observer f = f s v - v o v ()
5
Observer travelling towards source at speed v o The number of waves produced in time t = ft = vt Extra waves heard in time t = v o t Total no of waves heard = v o t vt + vt No of waves per second = frequency = v o t + ( ÷ t f = f s v + v o v () As = v ÷ f s Now do tutorial questions
