Doppler Effect for Two Moving Sources
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
