3 The Doppler Effect  + if the source is moving away from the observer  - if the source is moving towards the observer

4 The Doppler Effect The frequency of a moving sound source appears to change according to a stationary observer  + if the source is moving away from the observer  - if the source is moving towards the observer

5 The Doppler Effect If both the source and observer are moving: Note: Top operations if the objects are moving away from each other, bottom if they are moving towards

6 The Doppler Effect If both the source and observer are moving: Note: Top operations if the objects are moving away from each other, bottom if they are moving towards

7 Explain why the Doppler effect occurs only if the sound-emitting object is moving relative to the listener. Calculate the apparent frequency heard by a person if a car traveling at 110 km/h emits a sound with frequency 450 Hz. Assume that the car is moving at the melting point of ice. a) away from the listener. b) toward the listener.

8 As a racing car zooms by you, its pitch decreases by 20%. If the speed of sound is 345 m/s, how fast is the car traveling?
