MCQ
Doppler effect is applicable for
  • A
    Moving bodies
  • B
    One is moving and other are stationary
  • For relative motion
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: C.
For relative motion
c
Relative motion apart decreases frequency. The greater the relative speed, the greater the effect. The Doppler effect occurs not only for sound, but for any wave when there is relative motion between the observer and the source
