In my physics books it gives an equation of frequency for a moving observer as
f'= v'/λ =v+u/λ. Since λ=v/f it was converted to f'=v+u/(v/f) = (v+u/v)f
I understand this much of the equation, but the final Algebraic factoring that I don't get is they said this equation is f'= (1+u/v)f
I just don't get how v+u/v was changed to 1+u/v.
Any explanation here would be helpful.
Thanks.
