Doppler Effect for Two Moving Sources
Two sound sources emit waves of the same frequency, f. Source 1 moves toward a stationary observer at speed v, and Source 2 moves toward the same observer at speed 2v. The frequencies detected by the observer are f₁ and f₂, respectively. Assuming v ≪ c, where c is the speed of sound, which expression correctly relates these frequencies?
A
(f₂-f)/(f₁-f) ≈ 2
B
f₂-f₁ = f
C
(f₂-f)/(f₁-f) = 4
D
f₂/f₁ ≈ 1 + v/c
