Doppler Effect

The Doppler Effect describes the change in frequency of a wave in relation to an observer. It occurs when the source of the wave moves towards or away from the observer. This phenomenon is commonly experienced with sound waves. For example, the pitch of a passing siren changes as it approaches and then recedes. It has applications in various fields, including astronomy and radar technology.
