Sound Waves And Stars: The Doppler Effect
Sign in to track this film in your collection or want list.
Why does the sound of a passing train suddenly change as the train goes by? Christian Doppler found that the waves ahead of a moving source increase in frequency (the pitch rises) and that the frequency of the waves behind such a source decreases (the pitch drops). This effect is called the Doppler Effect., A young scientist, Christian Doppler, found that the waves ahead of a moving source increase in frequency (the pitch rises) and that the frequency of the waves behind such a source decreases ( the pitch drops). This is called the Doppler effect. This revision shows how radar waves in a police speed detector and light waves from the stars also demonstrate the Doppler effect.
