No. Motion is the thing that when you're moving, you're in it.
But it IS possible for one person to say you're moving and another person to say you're not moving, both at the same time, and both of them are correct !
Answer:
The observed frequency by the pedestrian is 424 Hz.
Explanation:
Given;
frequency of the source, Fs = 400 Hz
speed of the car as it approaches the stationary observer, Vs = 20 m/s
Based on Doppler effect, as the car the approaches the stationary observer, the observed frequency will be higher than the transmitted (source) frequency because of decrease in distance between the car and the observer.
The observed frequency is calculated as;
![F_s = F_o [\frac{v}{v_s + v} ] \\\\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=F_s%20%3D%20F_o%20%5B%5Cfrac%7Bv%7D%7Bv_s%20%2B%20v%7D%20%5D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C)
where;
F₀ is the observed frequency
v is the speed of sound in air = 340 m/s
![F_s = F_o [\frac{v}{v_s + v} ] \\\\400 = F_o [\frac{340}{20 + 340} ] \\\\400 = F_o (0.9444) \\\\F_o = \frac{400}{0.9444} \\\\F_o = 423.55 \ Hz \\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=F_s%20%3D%20F_o%20%5B%5Cfrac%7Bv%7D%7Bv_s%20%2B%20v%7D%20%5D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C400%20%3D%20F_o%20%5B%5Cfrac%7B340%7D%7B20%20%2B%20340%7D%20%5D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C400%20%3D%20F_o%20%280.9444%29%20%5C%5C%5C%5CF_o%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B400%7D%7B0.9444%7D%20%5C%5C%5C%5CF_o%20%3D%20423.55%20%5C%20Hz%20%5C%5C)
F₀ ≅ 424 Hz.
Therefore, the observed frequency by the pedestrian is 424 Hz.
The question is poor. Light doesn't refract on its way THROUGH anything. It refracts at the boundary BETWEEN two different media. The effect is greatest where the ratio of the speeds of light in the two media is greatest. On your list, that would be at the boundary between air or space and glass.
The process of <u>scientific method</u> involves making hypotheses , driving predictions from them as logical consequences , and then carrying out experiments or empirical observations based on those predictions. A hypotheses is a conjecture , based on knowledge obtained while seeking answers to the questions.
