Change in Wavelength due to Movement of Source Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Wavelength = Velocity of Source*Time Period of Progressive Wave
λ = V_source*T_w
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Wavelength - (Measured in Meter) - Wavelength is the distance covered by the wave in one oscillation.
Velocity of Source - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Velocity of Source is the distance covered by the source in one second.
Time Period of Progressive Wave - (Measured in Second) - Time period of progressive wave is the time taken by a wave to complete one oscillation.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Velocity of Source: 80 Meter per Second --> 80 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Time Period of Progressive Wave: 2.6 Second --> 2.6 Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

λ = V_source*T_w --> 80*2.6

Evaluating ... ...

λ = 208

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

208 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

208 Meter <-- Wavelength

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Effective Wavelength when Source Moves Away from Observer

Go Wavelength = (Velocity of Sound+Velocity of Source)/Wave Frequency

Effective Wavelength when Source Moves towards Observer

Go Wavelength = (Velocity of Sound-Velocity of Source)/Wave Frequency

Change in Wavelength given Angular Frequency

Go Wavelength = 2*pi*Velocity of Source*Angular Frequency

Change in Wavelength due to Movement of Source

Go Wavelength = Velocity of Source*Time Period of Progressive Wave

Wavelength of Wave using Velocity

Go Wavelength = Velocity of Wave*Time Period of Progressive Wave

Change in Wavelength given Frequency

Go Wavelength = Velocity of Source/Wave Frequency

Wavelength given Frequency

Go Wavelength = Velocity of Wave/Wave Frequency

Change in Wavelength due to Movement of Source Formula

Wavelength = Velocity of Source*Time Period of Progressive Wave
λ = V_source*T_w

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.
