APPLYING DOPPLER EFFECT

Module 20
OBJECTIVE
• Apply the Doppler Effect in describing
the frequency of sound from the speaker
to the listener.
What is Doppler Effect?
• A change in the frequency and pitch of a
sound that is caused by the movement of
either the source or the listener is called
Doppler Effect after the Austrian Physicist
Christian Doppler who discovered that the
moving ambulance has a relative motion
with the stationary listeners.
DOPPLER EFFECT

The one in front of


the approaching
ambulance hears a
higher pitch while
the one behind hears
a lower pitch.

DOPPLER EFFECT
• The Doppler Effect also takes
place when the listener is moving
with respect to a stationary
source or when both source and
sound receiver are moving at
different speeds. This shows that
whenever there is relative motion
between the source of waves and
the listener, the Doppler effect
takes place.
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
• Doppler Effect does not take place if both the source of sound
and the observer are not moving.
• If both the source of sound and the observer are not moving,
then the frequency heard by the observer is the same as the
frequency emitted by the source.
• If the source of sound or the observer, or both are in motion
relative to the medium, then Doppler Effect occurs.
What determines Pitch?
• FREQUENCY!
• As the observer moves towards the source
the frequency received by the observer is
higher. But if the observer is moving away
from the source, then the observer will detect
longer wavelength of sound. Thus, the
frequency received is lower.
FORMULA TO BE USED RELATED TO
DOPPLER EFFECT
Hint:
For objects moving in a straight line (left and right directions), assume that
any motion from listener to the source has a positive velocity.
