Echo
Wave speed

v = f x 

If the speed of the wave stays the same what will


happen to the frequency if the wavelength decreases?

Observer Source
Source moving towards an observer
Now consider the source is moving. The source emits one wave front and at a
time T (the time period) later it emits a second wave front.

Moving
Observer Source

How will the wavelength change?
