Yes, the Doppler effect can be applied to light. Any wave function can be subject to the Doppler effect if there is relative motion between the source and an observer. That's how we know that the Universe is expanding.
Yes, the Doppler effect defines the change in speed of a sound wave due to motion. As I recall, the Doppler Effect is a change in the frequency of a wave, not its speed. Yep, I'm pretty sure Doppler is a frequency change, not a speed of sound change.
No. The Doppler effect is an apparent change in frequency, due to movement, away from towards the observer.
The Doppler effect is the change in frequency or wavelength of a wave for an observer who is moving relative to the wave source. It is named after the Austrian physicist Christian Doppler, who described the phenomenon in 1842.
No. Doppler effect measures relative speed toward or away from the observer, there is no effect on the star itself.

The Doppler effect is the change in frequency of a sound wave. The Doppler effect causes a siren or engine to have a higher pitch when it is approaching than it does when it is receding.
The doppler effect is the change in frequency of a wave for an observer moving relative to the source of the wave. You can measure the location and velocity of a locomotive moving towards or away from your. You can measure a star's location and velocity vector regarding the shift and color emanating from the star light. This is calculated via doppler light equations.

When the train gets close to you the sound wave are compressed making a higher pitch noise and as the train passes the sound waves become lengthened. That is the doppler effect in a nutshell. Now just compare it to how the doppler effect changes light waves.
For the Doppler effect to occur the measured object must be in motion (radial velocity) relative to the emitter of a wave.
The Doppler Effect is the change of frequency of a wave that is getting closer to a source. It was named after Christian Doppler who was an Austrian physicist.

Sound is a wave; the sound wave is distorted by the Doppler effect. You can clearly hear the change in pitch, from the point where the car approaches you, to the point where it moves away from you.
