sound waves and Doppler effect
the doppler effect results in
a change in a waves observed ( if sound wave perceived or pitched) frequency
no relative motion between source and observer and wave length is constant then
it is the actual frequency
sounds are classifed as
mechanical and longitudinal
the speed is constant if
medium is constant
natural frequency
nearly all objects vibrate when disturbed, and tend to vibrate at a natural frequency
doppler effect
occurs when there is a difference between the source of the wave's motion and the observers motion ex: firetruck moving with siren on
resonance
phenomenon where one object emitting a sound wave with a specific frequency causes another object with the same natural frequency to vibrate ex: high pitch causing glass to shatter height of building causes it to collapse in earthquake
Blue vs red
red shift- source/observer is moving away from source blue shift- source/ observer is moving towards source examples of light are radar gun that reflects frequencies to determine spped meterology radar for wind speed astronomy as evidence of the expanding world
doppler shift
shift in frequeny for sound, resulting in a change in pitch\shift in frequency for light results in a change in color, blue and red
what does the amplitude of a sound wave relate to
the loudness of sound (energy of the sound wave)
what does the frequency has to do with
the pitch, high frequency sound has a high pitch and low frequency sound has a low pitch
if the source/observer is moving toward each other than
the waves will bunch up and you will hear a higher frequency
if the source/ observer is moving away from each other
the waves will stretch out and you will hear a low frequency
