16. (a) Show that when v«c, the formulas for the doppler effect both in light and in sound for all observer approaching a source, and vice versa, all reduce to v=v,(1+v/c) so that Av/v=v/c.[Hint: For x<1,1/(1+x)~1-x x«1,1/(1+ x)~1-x] (b) What do the formulas for an observer receding from a source, and vice Versa, reduce to when v<c?
