DOPPLER EFFECT
Apparent frequency is different than actual frequency if there is relative motion between the source and
listener.
If they are approaching each other the frequency increases, if they are moving apart frequency decreases
[( v + v m ) v L ]
is actual frequency, is apparent frequency, vL velocity of listener and vs velocity
[( v + v m ) vs ]
of source, vm is velocity of medium.
