Lesson 7 * 11-9 The Doppler Effect If there is relative motion between detector(observer) and source of wave, the detected (by detector)frequency will be higher or lower than that of wave source. D S ? ? 1. Detector and source stationary f?=? v v vt D ? Frequency f? = the rate at which D intercepts wavefronts (or individual wavelengths) 2. Detector Moving; Source Stationary v ? vD v vt D vD vDt Frequency detected by D f? f ( D moves toward the source) If D moves away from the source Summarize the two situations Plus sign: D moves toward S Minus sign:D moves away from S O f ? f 3.
