Does Playing the Violin on a Moving Train Demonstrate the Doppler Effect?

AI Thread Summary
The Doppler effect is applicable when a sound source, like a violin, is moving relative to an observer. If the train is moving towards a stationary observer on the platform, the observer will perceive a change in frequency due to the Doppler effect. However, the person playing the violin inside the train does not experience a frequency change relative to their own position. The discussion highlights the distinction between the observer's perspective and the musician's experience. Understanding this principle is essential in acoustics and physics.

suppose i am moving in a train and at the same time playing a violin .Is the dopller effect/formulae applicable for me
 
Physics news on Phys.org
If the person listening to the violin is outside the train, yes.
 
If the observer is at the platform and the train is moving with constant velocity towards him, will the observer feel the frequency change?

No. (I think you knew that, didn't you?)
 
well how did u know that i knew it :huh:
 
:smile: I've heard you play the violin! :smile:​

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...

Thread 'Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?'

I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
