`lambda' = (1- v_s / v ) lambda `
`(v)"velocity of waves"`
`(v_s)"velocity of the source"`

The Wavelength of Doppler-shifted wave is found using  the following formula: `lambda'=(1-v_s/v)lambda`, where: 

  • `v` = velocity of waves
  • `v_s` = velocity of the source
  • `lambda` = distance between pulses
  • `lambda'` = wavlength
