That depends, for sound waves typically travel through molecules in the air or really any other median.
The wavelength of a transverse wave is the distance between successive crests.
A source vibrating with simple harmonic motion produces a sinusoidal wave.
The Doppler effect is a phenomenon that depends on the relative motion of the source and the observer. It is the change in frequency or wavelength of a wave in relation to an observer moving relative to the source of the wave.
A periodic wave. This type of wave is generated by a source that has a repetitive motion pattern, leading to the wave's characteristic periodic variations in amplitude or frequency. Examples include sine waves, square waves, and sawtooth waves.
Doppler effect. This phenomenon describes the change in frequency or pitch of a wave when the source of the wave is in motion relative to the observer.

Doppler effect. This phenomenon describes the change in frequency or pitch of a wave when the source of the wave is in motion relative to the observer.
As a wave source moves towards an observer, the pitch of the wave increases. This is known as a Doppler shift, where the frequency of the wave appears higher due to the relative motion between the source and the observer. Conversely, as the source moves away from the observer, the pitch of the wave decreases.
The Doppler effect is the change in frequency or wavelength of a wave in relation to an observer who is moving relative to the wave source. It causes the perceived pitch of a sound to change based on the relative motion between the source of the sound waves and the listener.
No, the Doppler effect refers to the change in frequency or wavelength of a wave as observed by an observer moving relative to the source of the wave. It is not the change in speed of the wave itself, but rather how the perceived frequency or wavelength is altered by the motion of the source or the observer.
Longitudinal waves have a particle motion that is parallel to the wave motion. In these waves, particles oscillate back and forth in the same direction that the wave is traveling. Sound waves are a common example of longitudinal waves.
The relative motion between the source of a wave and an observer can affect the observed frequency and wavelength of the wave. If the source and observer are moving towards each other, the observer will perceive a higher frequency and shorter wavelength (Doppler effect). If they are moving away from each other, the observer will perceive a lower frequency and longer wavelength.
The angle of the V-shaped shock wave, known as the Mach angle, decreases as the speed of the wave source increases. At very high speeds, the shock wave becomes nearly perpendicular to the direction of motion of the source, creating a more narrow V shape.
