For this,

Does someone please know whether they assume for the equation highlighted that $\frac{v}{f} ≥ \frac{v_S}{f}$ since otherwise the wavelength would be negative (which I assume is impossible)?

Many thanks!

The object would be moving faster than the sound speed; i.e., supersonic which is a different physical regime.
