Select the appropriate Doppler equation when source is approaching the stationary observer where fo is the observed frequency, fs is frequency of source, v is the speed of sound, vs is the speed of source relative to observer?
Answer: fo = v/v+vs fs
Explanation
The appropriate Doppler equation when the source is approaching the stationary observer is ๐๐ = ๐ฃ/๐ฃ โ ๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ .
This equation accounts for the increased frequency observed when the source moves toward the observer, as the sound waves are compressed.
