True/False: If an object stays still, but the observer moves, the Doppler Effect is still observered
Vladimir79 [104]

But we know what you mean, and what you meant to say is true.

The Doppler effect is observed if there is relative radial motion
between an object and an observer <em><u>AND</u></em> if the object happens
to be putting out sound or light in the observer's direction.
