What is Doppler effect?
phenomenon of motion-related frequency change.
phenomenon of motion-related acceleration change.
phenomenon of motion-related change in distance
None of the above
the place / thing / person from where the sound is generated ?
Observer
Source
Which is NOT an application of Doppler effect ?
Radar
Meteorology - Tracking storms
Diagnosing heart problems
All of the other options are applications of Doppler effect
When a light source moves away from the observer , the frequency received by the observer will be less than the frequency transmitted by the source.
True
False
When source is moving with ‘velocity towards an observer at rest, then apparent frequency is -
none of the above
If wind is also blowing with a velocity w in the direction of sound, then its velocity is added to the velocity of sound. Hence, in this condition the apparent frequency is givenby
True
False
The apparent frequency of the whistle of an engine changes in the ratio 3 : 2 as the engine passes a stationary observer. If the velocity of sound is 330 m/s, calculate the velocity of the engine.
76 m/s
66 m/s
120 m/s
90 m/s
130 m/s
A train whistle is blown by the driver who hears the sound at 650 Hz. If the train is heading towards a station at 20.0 m/s, what will the whistle sound like to a waiting commuter? Take the speed of sound to be 340 m/s
592 Hz
801 Hz
456 Hz
691 Hz
Doppler effect applies to
Sound wave only
Light wave only
Both of sound waves and light waves
Neither of sound waves and light waves.
A case where an observer is standing on a railway platform and train blowing whistle Recedes away from him and due to this does the number of waves reaching him -
Increase
Decrease
Remain the same
