Change in frequency due to Doppler's eff...

Change in frequency due to Doppler's effect is produced when

A

the source and the observer are moving in the same direction

B

the source and the observe are both at rest

C

there is a relative motion between the source and the observer

D

there is a resultant motion between the source and observer.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

According to Doppler's effect, when a source of sound or an observer or both are in motion relative to air, there is an apparent change in the frequence of sound as heard by the observer.
