<h1 class="center">Doppler Effect </h1>The "Doppler Effect" happens when a wave's source is <b>moving</b> in relation to us:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>As the source approaches, the waves arrive at a higher frequency</li>
|
|
<li>As the source moves away, the waves have a lower frequency</li></ul>So a passing siren sounds like <i>"nee-nee-nee-nee ... woooo-woooo"</i>, or a passing race-car sounds like <i>"eeee-yoooo":</i>

<p>This applies to all waves, including light waves and even waves on the sea:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
<li><a href="light.html">Light</a> from stars that are moving away are "red-shifted" (a lower frequency of light) and those that move toward us are "blue-shifted"</li>
|
|
<li>On the sea, a boat can travel in the same direction as the waves to make the up-and-down motion slower.</li></ul>

<h2>About the Model</h2>
|
|
<p>The source emits waves at a fixed frequency, but the observer receives a <b>higher </b>frequency when the source moves <b>towards </b>them (and lower frequency when the source moves away)</p>
|
|
<p>To make the model "honest" I based the received frequency purely on <b>when a wave crosses the center of the blue circle</b>.</p>
|
|
<h3>Why does the sound change in little steps?</h3>
|
|
<p>Because our model is not perfect! Each new wave, as it arrives, changes the average up or down. We could improve the model by using more data points for a smoother result.</p>
|
|
<h3>Relative motion!</h3>
|
|
<p>The model shows the source moving, but it is really the <b>relative motion</b> between source and observer that is important. Imagine you are in a car passing by a sound source ... you would also notice this effect.</p>
|
|
<h3>Light</h3>
|
|
<p>The same model could also show light getting red-shifted for objects moving further apart, or blue-shifted when getting closer. Note that the source's color does not change, but the observation of its color does</p>
