Observed Frequency when Observer Moves towards Source Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Frequency Observed = ((Velocity of Sound+Velocity Observed)/Velocity of Sound)*Wave Frequency
F_o = ((c+V_o)/c)*f_W
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Frequency Observed - (Measured in Hertz) - Frequency Observed is the number of oscillations or cycles of a wave that an observer detects per second due to the Doppler Effect.
Velocity of Sound - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Velocity of Sound is the speed at which sound waves propagate through a medium, affected by the Doppler Effect, resulting in wavelength changes.
Velocity Observed - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Velocity Observed is the velocity at which the wave is received by the observer, affected by the motion of the source and observer.
Wave Frequency - (Measured in Hertz) - Wave Frequency is the number of oscillations or cycles of a wave per second, affected by the relative motion of the source and observer.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Velocity of Sound: 343 Meter per Second --> 343 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Velocity Observed: 283 Meter per Second --> 283 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Wave Frequency: 200 Hertz --> 200 Hertz No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

F_o = ((c+V_o)/c)*f_W --> ((343+283)/343)*200

Evaluating ... ...

F_o = 365.014577259475

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

365.014577259475 Hertz --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

365.014577259475 ≈ 365.0146 Hertz <-- Frequency Observed

What is Doppler Effect?

The Doppler effect (or the Doppler shift) is the change in frequency of a wave in relation to an observer who is moving relative to the wave source. It is named after the Austrian physicist Christian Doppler, who described the phenomenon in 1842.

How to Calculate Observed Frequency when Observer Moves towards Source?

Observed Frequency when Observer Moves towards Source calculator uses Frequency Observed = ((Velocity of Sound+Velocity Observed)/Velocity of Sound)*Wave Frequency to calculate the Frequency Observed, Observed Frequency when Observer Moves towards Source formula is defined as a measure of the frequency of a wave that an observer would measure when moving towards the source of the wave, taking into account the velocity of the observer and the source. It is used to calculate the frequency shift that occurs due to relative motion between the observer and the source. Frequency Observed is denoted by F_o symbol.
