Q

progressive wave

A

waves that transfer energy from one place to another with a wavefront that travels thru the material, meaning it transfers energy without transferring material

Q

What is the doppler effect and the equation for the observed frequency?

A

is an observed change in the frequency ofAnyway When the source of the wave is moving to stop when the source of the wave moves towards your server is disturbance reaches the observer in a time less than the previous disturbance

A

the frequency and wavelength change independent on the velocity of the source related to the observer
