Because the speed of the wave usually is the same for different frequencies (or wavelengths). The basic formula is: c = (lambda) f - the speed of the wave is equal to the wavelength times the frequency. For example, the speed of light is 300,000 km/sec; if two wave crests pass by you every second (frequency = 2 Hz), then the distance from one wave crest to the next is 150,000 km.

How are you able to see different colors?

Colour is due to the change in the frequency of radiation. This change in frequency is sensed by the cones present in our retina.


What do you call the change in sound frequency due to a relative motion?

The Doppler Effect.


Why an inductor opposes the flow of alternating current?

A change in current through an inductor will induce a voltage into that conductor, the direction of which will always oppose that change in current. This is a natural phenomenon due to the conservation of energy.


What is an explanation of the Doppler shift?

The Doppler Shift is a change in frequency due to the Doppler Effect.


If the bug in the demonstration moves forward does the speed of the waves change. What does change?

The speed of the wave stays same but the frequency change due to motion.


Does the wave speed change in the Doppler effect?

Yes, the Doppler effect defines the change in speed of a sound wave due to motion. As I recall, the Doppler Effect is a change in the frequency of a wave, not its speed. Yep, I'm pretty sure Doppler is a frequency change, not a speed of sound change.

When a sound source approaches you does it get higher or lower?

Higher. Well, the pitch gets higher. Frequency itself can never change. Pitch is our perception of frequency. The change in pitch due to position is known as the Doppler Effect.

What is function of emitter bypass capacitor?

A: THE EMITTER resistor sole function is to provide stability if it is by passed by a capacitor then this resistance will change due to frequency since as frequency increases the impedance decreases. The total gain will change accordingly
