The Doppler effect is an event in which the frequency of
the waves from a source which is accepted by the detector
underwent changes due to a change of position or
movement of the detector relative against the source of
the wave or vice versa.

 v 
f o  f s  .
 v v s 

In the above equation –vs is used when the source

moves towards the observer. This makes sense
because the observed frequency is expected to
increase as the source moves towards the observer.
When the source moves away from the observer, +vs
is used.

 v  vo 

In the above equation +vo is used when the observer
moves towards the source and –vo is used when the
observer moves away from the source.

General Case
 v  vo 
f o  f s  .

+vo is used when the observer moves towards the source,
–vo is used when the observer moves away from the source,
–vs is used when the source moves towards the observer, and
+vs is used when the source moves away from the observer.
