Is there a Doppler effect in the case of sound when the observer or the source moves at right angles to the line joining them? How then can we determine the Doppler effect when the motion has a component at right angles to this line?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No, it is done by considering the component of the velocity of the source along the line joining it with the observer.
