The Doppler effect or Doppler shift is the apparent change in frequency of a wave in relation to an observer moving relative to the wave source. It is named after the Austrian physicist Christian Doppler, who described the phenomenon in 1842

10 Questions

1. A passenger is standing on a platform. A train is arriving with speed =100m/s. It whistles at point B while the passenger is at point A. What is the frequency heard by the passenger if the whistle frequency is 100Hz? Speed of sound = 330m/s.
2. In case of electromagnetic waves, doppler shifts are independent of whether source moves or observer provided relative speed is the same. True or False?
3. A source of sound moves towards an observer. What happens to the speed of sound in the medium?
4. A source of frequency 50Hz is moving towards an observer with a deceleration of 2m/s2. If its initial speed is 20m/s, what will be the maximum frequency heard by the observer? Initial distance between source and observer is 100m. Speed of sound = 330m/s.
5. A source moves towards a stationary observer with a speed of 10m/s. If the frequency of the source is 10Hz what will be the wavelength of sound heard by the observer? Speed of sound = 330m/s.
6. A man is moving towards a wall with a source of sound in his hand. Frequency of source = 50Hz. Speed of man = 8m/s. If the man sends one pulse of sound, what will be the frequency heard by him after sound reflects off the wall? Speed of sound = 330m/s.
7. A man jumps from a building with a source of sound. When he reaches halfway down, he starts the siren of frequency 100Hz. A person standing below him on the ground hears the first sound to be of frequency 120Hz. What is the height of the building? Speed of sound = 330m/s. Take g=9.81m/s2.
8. An observer is standing stationary in air moving at a speed of 2m/s. A source of frequency 20Hz is moving in the direction of wind with speed 10m/s towards the observer. What will be the frequency as heard by the observer? Speed of sound in air is 330m/s.
9. If both the source of sound and observer are moving, the apparent frequency will be different from the actual frequency. True or False?
10. A train with a frequency ‘f’. What will be the frequency heard by a person sitting in the train? Speed of the train is ‘v’.
