2. Sound: Stationary Source and Moving Source/Observer

λ = v/n

λ' = (v - v_s)/n

n' = n(v/(v - v_s))

n' = n(v/(v + v_s))

n' = n((v + v_o)/v)

3. Reflected Sound and Non-Collinear Motion

n1 = n(v/(v - v_c))

n_ap = n((v + v_c)/(v - v_c))

n_ap = n[(v + v2 cosθ2)/(v - v1 cosθ1)]

4. Light: Doppler Effect and Doppler Shift

n' = n√[(1 + (v/c))/(1 - (v/c))]

n' = n√[(1 - (v/c))/(1 + (v/c))]

Δλ = (v/c)λ
