IB Physics SL C 5 2 Doppler Wavefront Diagrams Topic Practice

Question 1

[Maximum number: 2]

This question is about the Doppler effect.

The diagram shows wavefronts in air produced by a stationary source S of sound.
The distance between successive wavefronts is equal to the wavelength of the sound.
The speed of sound is c.

Figure for Question 1 — IB Physics SL

On the diagram, sketch three successive waveforts produced when S is moving to the left at a speed of 0.5 c.
