Questions and Answers

What is the Doppler Effect?

  • The change in volume of a wave
  • The change in color of a wave
  • The change in frequency or wavelength of a wave due to relative motion (correct)
  • The change in speed of a wave

In which situation is no Doppler shift observed?

  • When the source is moving towards the observer
  • When the source is moving away from the observer
  • When the source is stationary and the observer is stationary (correct)
  • When the source changes its frequency

How does the frequency change when a source moves towards an observer?

  • The source stops emitting waves
  • Frequency remains constant
  • Frequency increases (correct)
  • Frequency decreases
