REVISIONSOUND

DOPPLER EFFECT• Doppler effect as the change in frequency (or

pitch) of the sound detected by a listener because the sound source and the listener

have different velocities relative to the medium of sound propagation

Dolphins use ultrasonic waves to explore their surroundings.

When a dolphin is 100m from a rock, it emits an ultrasonic wave

with a frequency of 250 kHz,

while swimming at 20m.s towards the rock.
