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 'The Effect of Linear and Rotational Motion on Measured Weight'

Consider an extremely long and perfectly calibrated scale. A car with a mass of 1000 kg is placed on it, and the scale registers this weight accurately. Now, suppose the car begins to move, reaching very high speeds. Neglecting air resistance and rolling friction, if the car attains, for example, a velocity of 500 km/h, will the scale still indicate a weight corresponding to 1000 kg, or will the measured value decrease as a result of the motion? In a second scenario, imagine a person with a...

Thread 'Coulomb gauge implies instantaneous radial electric field?'

Scalar and vector potentials in Coulomb gauge Assume Coulomb gauge so that $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A}=0.\tag{1}$$ The scalar potential ##\phi## is described by Poisson's equation $$\nabla^2 \phi = -\frac{\rho}{\varepsilon_0}\tag{2}$$ which has the instantaneous general solution given by $$\phi(\mathbf{r},t)=\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}\int \frac{\rho(\mathbf{r}',t)}{|\mathbf{r}-\mathbf{r}'|}d^3r'.\tag{3}$$ In Coulomb gauge the vector potential ##\mathbf{A}## is given by...

Thread 'Simple thought experiment with Stefan-Boltzmann law: energy'

Dear all, in an encounter of an infamous claim by Gerlich and Tscheuschner that the Greenhouse effect is inconsistent with the 2nd law of thermodynamics I came to a simple thought experiment which I wanted to share with you to check my understanding and brush up my knowledge. The thought experiment I tried to calculate through is as follows. I have a sphere (1) with radius ##r##, acting like a black body at a temperature of exactly ##T_1 = 500 K##. With Stefan-Boltzmann you can calculate...
