Under the Doppler Effect, if the source of a wave is moving, it must be changing the refraction of the wave. True or False?

OpenStudy (radar):

Refraction is the affect of traversing a medium which will alter the velocity and cause bending of the wave. Don't see how the troopers moving vehicle with the radar gun would cause this, but I do see how the doppler shift would be affected from reflections from stationary and moving vehicles would be affected

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Perhaps they want you to recognize that the received frequency of the wave will be shifted by the Doppler effect for relative motion.
