Homework Statement
This is my first post, so it might not be that great... Anyways, I need help deriving the formula. This formula is pertaining to the doppler effect, and more specifically, to find the frequency of a sound made from an object moving toward/away from you.
f2= f1(v/v-vs) or... f1(v/v+vs)
Where f2 is the second frequency, f1 is the first frequency, v is velocity, and vs is the velocity of the source.
Homework Equations
v=(lambda)(frequency) (I don't know how to make any symbols =/)
v=d/t
beat frequency= absf1-f2endabs
The Attempt at a Solution
What I did was try to make every variable a frequency, and I had no idea what to substitute in for vs...
