Let,
n = actual frequency of the source.
n0 = apparent frequency of the source,
v = velocity of sound in air.
vs = velocity of the source.
vl = velocity of the listener.
i. If source is moving towards observer then apparent frequency is given by,
\(n = n_0(\frac{v}{v-v_s})\) i.e., apparent frequency increases.
ii. If source is receding away from observer then apparent frequency is given by,
\(n = n_0(\frac{v}{v+v_s})\) i.e., apparent frequency decreases.
