Effect

This lesson will look at doppler effect and explain how and why it happens when the wave source is moving or an observer is moving or both. This lesson will take a look at what happens to a frequency when an observer becomes closer or further away. A diagram will be drawn to explain what occurs in relation to speed of a wave.

This lesson will look at real life examples and an experiment to explain the doppler effect. The experiment will show what occurs to pitch when the wave source moves toward or away from the wave source. This lesson will look at diagrams to look at the motion of the wave source. The Doppler effect will be defined and explained in depth in this lesson.

Is the change in frequency of a wave (or other periodic event) for an observer moving relative to its source.
