Specital Notes:: 2w B N V

This document discusses Doppler's effect and how it relates to changes in frequency and wavelength of sound or light waves depending on the motion of the source and observer. It provides equations showing that if the source is moving towards the observer, the observed frequency and wavelength will be higher than if stationary, and if moving away the observed frequency and wavelength will be lower. It also discusses how Einstein's theory of relativity is used to describe the optical Doppler effect and how spectral lines will be shifted towards violet or red depending on the source's motion relative to the observer.

Third Condition No beats because listener is moving far from both sources.
Specital Notes :
If any listner moving in between two stationary sound sources of identical frequency, beats phenomenon will
be observed by listner.
The wave length of sound wave produced by souce only & only depends on motion of source. First change
then N change if source is moving.
If source is at rest s is constant & directly N changes because its velocity of motion which is given by.
