  1. So I'm going to be describing the Doppler effect.
  2. So, some basics, what is it, the changes in frequency
  3. of any kind of light or sound wave produced by
  4. a moving source in respect to the observer.
  5. How does it work?
  6. It works on both light and sound objects.
  7. For instance, when a sound object moves towards you, the
  8. frequency of the sound waves increases, leading to a higher
  9. pitch. If it moves away from you, the frequency of
  10. the sound waves decreases in the pitch comes down.
  11. So some examples, it can be shown through sound and
  12. light. The first example is a sound one, the pitch
  13. of a siren as high as an ambulance approaches than
  14. lower as the ambulance passes.
  15. The next one is going to be a light example,
  16. when a star moves towards us, it's wavelengths get compressed
  17. and its spectrum becomes slightly bluer.
  18. The opposite happens when the star moves away from us.
  19. It's spectrum looks slightly redder.
  20. So how to find the Doppler effect when finding the
  21. Doppler effect, there are multiple different equations for different scenarios.
  22. You can use their five different equations.
  23. The first two are when a source is moving towards
  24. and away from the observer, the next two are the
  25. observer moving toward and away from the source, and then
  26. the last one is the observer and source moving at
  27. the same time.
  28. All of them mentioned equations are ways to solve the
  29. Doppler effect through rational equations.
  30. So some extra things.
  31. So in conclusion, when wave energy like sounder radio waves
  32. travels from two objects, the wavelength can seem to be
  33. changed if one or both of them are moving, this
  34. causes different pitches, et cetera.
  35. So, as a demonstration, I want you to close your
  36. eyes and just listen.
  37. Mhm as you notice, it gets louder when the clapping
  38. is closer to the speaker and then it lowers its
  39. pitch as it starts to move away.
  40. So some things that the Doppler effect are used with
  41. in real life.
  42. There's sirens, astronomy, radars, flow management, audio medical imaging and
  43. blood flow management, vibration measurement, satellite communication and velocity profile
  44. management. And there's also tons more.
  45. And that's the Doppler effect.
