Which of the following wave properties is shown above? * Doppler Effect * Diffraction * Reflection * Constructive Interference * Destructive Interference
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to identify which wave property is being demonstrated in the image. The image depicts a moving source (ambulance) emitting waves, and observers on either side experiencing different frequencies (pitch) of the waves.
Answer
Doppler Effect
The wave property shown in the image is the Doppler Effect.
Answer for screen readers
The wave property shown in the image is the Doppler Effect.
More Information
The Doppler Effect is the change in frequency of a wave in relation to an observer who is moving relative to the wave source.
Tips
The Doppler effect is often confused with wave interference, but they are fundamentally different phenomena. The Doppler effect deals with the change in observed frequency due to relative motion, while interference involves the superposition of waves to create a new wave pattern.
