Is there any Doppler effect of sound when the observer or source moves at right angles to the lines joining them?
No. At right angles, there is no wavefront compression or expansion to cause a Doppler shift. However, the only way to move at perpetual right angles is when the source moves on a circle (or sphere) about the observer (or vice versa). What is more common is something like when a train whistle (source) passes by a station (observer) at constant speed; in this case, the direction of motion and line-of-sight are only at right angles for the moment that the train whistle is directly in front of the station. At that moment, there is no Doppler shift. But before or after that moment, there is a decreasing or increasing Doppler shift as more or less of the motion is perpendicular to the line-of-sight, respectively. To understand the concept of wavefront compression, imagine you're throwing a Basketball at a person walking toward you. Pretend the basketball always moves at the same speed, and pretend the only way it can change direction is by bouncing off of something. The first time it bounces and comes back in 2 minutes. You do it again, and the second time it bounces and comes back in 1 minute and 50 seconds. That is because the distance between you and the person has been compressed by his/her motion. When a sound wave (or radio wave or light wave) is compressed, it changes frequency. If the person is walking in a circle, the distance is never compressed - by definition all points on a circle/sphere are equi-distant from the center. I'm a radar engineer and Doppler effect is a significant part of my job.
What else can I help you with?
Why do the tangents drawn at the ends of a chord of a circle make equal angles with the chord?
Because in effect an isosceles triangle has been constructed and the base angles are always equal.
What is the part of a view or picture nearest to the observer?
The part of a view or picture nearest to the observer is called the foreground. It typically contains the most prominent elements or subjects, drawing the viewer's attention and providing a sense of depth to the overall composition. The foreground often contrasts with the middle ground and background, helping to create a three-dimensional effect in a two-dimensional image.
Can two shapes be congruent and not similar?
In short, no. Similar shapes are shapes in which all corresponding angles congruent regardless of the length of the sides. Congruent shapes have congruent corresponding angles and corresponding sides. In effect congruent shapes is a special condition of similar shapes.
How is a prism created?
A prism is created by cutting a transparent material, such as glass or acrylic, into a specific geometric shape, typically a triangular cross-section. When light passes through the prism, it is refracted or bent at different angles depending on the wavelength, causing the light to disperse into its constituent colors. This effect is commonly observed in glass prisms, which can create a spectrum of colors when white light is passed through them. The precise angles of the prism's faces determine the degree of dispersion and the resulting visual effect.
Why is it undesirable to place mirrors at right angles to each other in toliets?
Placing mirrors at right angles to each other in toilets creates a phenomenon known as "infinity effect," where reflections can multiply indefinitely, leading to a disorienting visual experience. This can make users feel uncomfortable or claustrophobic, as they see an endless series of reflections. Additionally, it may create privacy concerns, as individuals might inadvertently be exposed to reflections of themselves from multiple angles. Overall, it can detract from the intended purpose of a restroom as a private and comfortable space.

The change in wave frequency of energy as it moves toward or away from an observer is the?
The Doppler effect. Good luck with your homework.
The shifting of lightwaves as an object moves away from the observer is what?
The Doppler effect
What does the Doppler effect graph illustrate?
The Doppler effect graph illustrates how the frequency of a wave changes when the source of the wave is moving relative to the observer.
What changes are due to the Doppler effect?
The Doppler effect causes changes in the frequency, wavelength, and pitch of a wave when there is relative motion between the source of the wave and an observer. For sound waves, this effect explains shifts in pitch as a sound source moves towards or away from an observer. In terms of light, the Doppler effect can cause shifts in the color and frequency of light from an object that is moving relative to an observer.
Why doesn't the Doppler shift appear when an observer moves toward the source?
Doppler's effect does not happen when the observer is moving towards the source because unlike the source when observer moves forward the waves are not compressed and they pass the observer without being compressed and since the doppler effect is due to the Change in wavelength of the wave, it fails to occur.
How does wavelength affect the Doppler Effect?
The Doppler Effect is the change in frequency of a wave due to the relative motion between the source and observer. For light waves, the Doppler Effect is primarily related to the velocity of the source or observer; the wavelength of light does not significantly affect the Doppler Effect. As the source or observer move toward each other, the perceived wavelength decreases (blue shift), while moving away from each other results in increased wavelength (red shift).
What is the Doppler effect on sound?
The Doppler effect is a phenomenon observed whenever the source of waves is moving with respect to an observer. The Doppler effect can be described as the effect produced by a moving source of waves in which there is an apparent upward shift in frequency for the observer and the source are approaching and an apparent downward shift in frequency when the observer and the source is receding. The Doppler effect can be observed to occur with all types of waves - most notably water waves, sound waves, and light waves.
When a sound source is moving away from an observer the observer will hear a lower pitch. This is due to?
the Doppler effect, which causes the observed frequency of a sound wave to decrease as the source moves farther away from the observer. As the sound waves spread out over a larger distance, the observer perceives a lower pitch.
What is the Doppler effect What causes it to occur?
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 occurs because the movement of the observer changes the effective distance between the observer and the wave source, leading to a perceived shift in the frequency of the wave.
Does the Doppler Effect occur when both the source and observer are moving at the same velocity?
No, the Doppler Effect occurs when there is relative motion between the source of the wave and the observer. If both the source and the observer are moving at the same velocity, there won't be any change in the observed frequency of the wave.
