    Doppler effect calculations
    In the E.D.E.X.C.EL (had to write the word this way so my thread doesn't have to be approved) A.S. P.hysics unit 2 ex.am are we expected to know how to do calculations relating to the Doppler effect?

    47 explain qualitatively how the movement
    of a source of sound or light relative to
    an observer/detector gives rise to a shift
    in frequency (Doppler effect) and explore
    applications that use this effect.

    not quantitatively.
