Which term describes an apparent change in frequency of sound waves of rapidly moving objects?

Doppler effect


The apparent change in the frequency of a sound emitted by a moving object?

The apparent change in the frequency of a sound emitted by a moving object is known as the Doppler effect. When the object is moving towards an observer, the frequency is perceived as higher (pitched up), and when the object is moving away, the frequency is perceived as lower (pitched down). This effect is commonly experienced with passing vehicles or sirens.


The apparent change in the pitch of a car's horn as it moves past you is a reult of the?

The apparent change in the frequency of a sound emitted by a moving object as it passes a stationary observer is called the what effect?

Doppler effect.


Would it be correct to say that the Doppler effect is the apparent change in speed of a wave due to motion of the source?

No, the doppler effect applies to changes in frequency.


The apparent change in frequency as a wave source moves in relation to the listener is called?

The Doppler effect is that apparent change of the frequency of a moving object when someone is stationary. A car may seem to get louder as it gets closer to a person and then the sound will drop as the car gets away.


How is the Doppler effect on light waves analogous to the apparent change in pich of a passing train whistle?

When the train gets close to you the sound wave are compressed making a higher pitch noise and as the train passes the sound waves become lengthened. That is the doppler effect in a nutshell. Now just compare it to how the doppler effect changes light waves.


A detected apparent change in the pitch caused by the motion of a sound source or of an observer is called?

The Doppler effect.The Doppler effect.The Doppler effect.The Doppler effect.


An apparent shift in the wavelength of light emmited by a light source moving toward or away from an observer is known as?

Doppler effect. It results in a change in the observed frequency of the light as the source moves relative to the observer. This effect is commonly seen in everyday scenarios, such as the change in pitch of a siren of a moving vehicle.


Is the Doppler effect is an apparent change in the resonance of a sound?

The Doppler effect is an apparent change in frequency or wavelength of a wave as perceived by an observer moving relative to the source of the wave. It is not specifically related to resonance but can affect the perceived pitch of sound as the source and observer move relative to each other.


Does the wave speed change in the Doppler effect?

No, the wave speed does not change in the Doppler effect. The apparent frequency and wavelength of the wave change due to the motion of the source or observer relative to the wave, but the speed of the wave remains constant.


Would it be correct to say that the Doppler effect is the apparent change in the speed of a wave due to the motion of the source?

Not quite. The Doppler effect is actually the change in frequency or wavelength of a wave, depending on the relative motion between the source of the wave and the observer. This effect is responsible for phenomena like the change in pitch of a siren as it passes by.
