The Doppler Effect
Describe the properties of a wave based on the relative motion between the source of the wave and the observer of the wave.
- The Doppler effect describes the relationship between the rest frequency of a wave source, the observed frequency of the source, and the relative velocity of the source and the observer.
- A greater relative velocity results in a greater measured difference between the observed and rest frequencies.
- For a wave source moving at the same velocity as the observer, the observed frequency is equal to the rest frequency.
- For a wave source moving toward an observer, the observed frequency is greater than the rest frequency.
- For a wave source moving away from an observer, the observed frequency is less than the rest frequency.
Only qualitative treatments of the Doppler effect are required for AP Physics 2.
