Doppler Effect for Two Moving Sources
< Prev
Next >

Two sound sources emit waves at the same frequency f. Source 1 moves toward a stationary observer at velocity v, while Source 2 moves toward the observer at velocity 2v. If the observed frequency from Source 1 is f₁ and from Source 2 is f₂, which expression correctly relates these frequencies? (Assume v << c, where c is the speed of sound.)

A

(f₂-f)/(f₁-f) ≈ 2

B

(f₂-f)/(f₁-f) = 4

C

f₂/f₁ ≈ 1 + v/c

D

f₂-f₁ = f
