(1) Source moves toward stationary observer: . (2) Observer moves toward stationary source: . (3) Source at speed of sound (): (shock wave / sonic boom). (4) Source and observer move together at same velocity: (no Doppler shift). (5) Source moves perpendicular to line joining source and observer: no Doppler shift in classical physics. (6) Echo/reflection: wall acts as stationary observer, then re-emits at received frequency.
