    The document discusses the Doppler effect and how the observed frequency of light or sound waves emitted by an object changes depending on whether the object is moving towards or away from an observer. It provides formulas showing that the observed frequency increases if the object is moving towards the observer and decreases if it is moving away. An example problem is given about calculating the observed frequency of a signal transmitted from a spaceship moving at 0.8 times the speed of light towards and away from Earth.

    A spaceship is moving with a velocity of 0.8c with respect to the
    stationary earth. It transmits a signal with a frequency of 1.0x10^7Hz.
    Find the observed frequency as it moves towards the earth.
