1 Wave Formula What determines the speed of a wave? A.The source B.The medium C.The energy/amplitude D.The frequency v = f Wave Speed

2 Doppler Effect The apparent change in frequency due to the motion of the source (or receiver) The Doppler effect is applied to ALL waves –Sound –Water –Light –etc

3 No Motion - No frequency change

4 Motion = apparent frequency change Smaller frequency Lower pitch Larger frequency Higher pitch

5 Point Source – Moving Draw this picture How has changed in the direction of motion? is smaller v = f  v does not change f is larger

6 Point Source – Moving How has changed opposite the direction of motion? is bigger v = f  v does not change f is smaller

7 Complete worksheet

8 What happens when source moves faster that the wave?
