Questions and Answers

In the Doppler effect formula, what does 'u' represent?

Relative speed between source and observer (correct)
Actual frequency
Apparent frequency
Velocity of the wave

What is the formula for the fundamental frequency of a stretched string?

f = 2l √(T/μ)
f = 1/√(2lT/μ)
f = 1/2l √(T/μ) (correct)
f = 1/l √(T/μ)

I=P/(4πr^2 )
I∝r^2
I=P/A (correct)
I∝1/r^2
