The shift in frequency caused by the Doppler effect is independent of
Options
- Athe speed of the source
- Bthe speed of the observer
- Cthe separation between the source and the observer
- Dthe frequency of the source
Correct answer
C. the separation between the source and the observer
Step-by-step solution
The apparent frequency due to the Doppler effect is given by f' = f \left(\dfrac{v \pm v_o}{v \mp v_s} \right), where is the original frequency, is the speed of sound, is the speed of the observer, and is the speed of the source.
The shift in frequency is .
From the formula, it is clear that the shift in frequency depends on the speed of the source, the speed of the observer, and the original frequency of the source.
It does not depend on the separation distance between the source and the observer.
