Is there a Doppler's Effect for sound when the observer or the source move at right angles to the line joining them?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When observer or source of sound moves through a small distance at right angles to the line joining them, there will be no change in the observed pitch. There will be no Doppler's effect.

Doppler Effect In Refelected Sound

Will there be Doppler effect, when the direction of motion of the source or observer is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of sound ?

In discussing Doppler effect, we use the word "apparent frequency". Does it mean that the frequency of the sound is still that of the source and it is some physiological phenomenon in the listener's ear that gives rise to Doppler effect ? Think for the observer approaching the source and for the source approaching the observer.

The Doppler effect can be observed in the following case(s) :
