What happens to the pitch of a sound when you move towards the source?
Think about what happens to the waves.
Does the frequency increase or decrease as you move away from the sound source?
Remember the relationship between motion and pitch.
What is the Doppler Effect?
Think of how an ambulance sounds different as it approaches.
True or False: The frequency of sound increases when an observer moves away from the source.
Recall how pitch changes as you move in relation to sound.
A police car emits a siren at a frequency of 900 Hz. If the car is moving toward you at 60 m/s while the sound speed is 340 m/s, what frequency do you perceive?
Calculate using the Doppler formula carefully.
If a source emitting sound at a frequency of 400 Hz is moving away from you at 40 m/s, what will be the observed frequency? Use sound speed of 340 m/s.
Remember to plug the values into the formula correctly.
