The Doppler effect can help us identify periodic motion. That's exactly how
we know about many double stars orbiting each other, even when we can't
separate their images in a telescope.
As one of the stars moves in its orbit first toward us, then away from us, then
toward us again, we see its spectrum blue shift, then red shift, then blue shift
again, with a period of days, weeks, months, or even years.
What else can I help you with?
What do you call the change in sound frequency due to a relative motion?
The Doppler Effect.
What is the change in frequency of a sound due to motion of the source?
The change in frequency of a sound due to motion of the source is called the Doppler effect. If the source is moving towards the observer, the frequency of the sound appears higher (blueshifted), while if the source is moving away, the frequency appears lower (redshifted). This effect is commonly experienced with passing vehicles and sirens.
For the Doppler effect to occur?
For the Doppler effect to occur the measured object must be in motion (radial velocity) relative to the emitter of a wave.
The blank effect allows us to use the spectrum to study a source's motion?
The Doppler effect allows us to use the spectrum to study a source's motion. This effect causes a shift in the wavelengths of light emitted by a moving source, which can be detected and used to determine the direction and speed of the source's motion relative to the observer.
Would it be correct to say that the Doppler effect is the apparent change in speed of a wave due to motion of the source?
No, the doppler effect applies to changes in frequency.
Can the Doppler effect be a periodic motion?

The change in pitch of a sound caused by motion of either the sound source or receiver is known as what?
The change in pitch of a sound caused by motion of either the sound source or receiver is known as the Doppler effect.
A detected apparent change in the pitch caused by the motion of a sound source or of an observer is called?
The Doppler effect.The Doppler effect.The Doppler effect.The Doppler effect.
Is the Doppler effect sensitive only to motion along the line of sight?
No, the Doppler effect can occur for any relative motion between a source and an observer, not just motion along the line of sight. This includes motion perpendicular to the line of sight, as well as away from or towards the observer.
What Doppler effect is the the change in sound caused by the motion of the sound source motion of the listener or both?
Both. The Doppler effect occurs when there is relative motion between the sound source and the listener. If either the source or the listener is in motion, it will cause a shift in the frequency of the sound waves that are perceived.
Would it be correct to say that the Doppler effect is the apparent change in the speed of a wave due to the motion of the source?
Not quite. The Doppler effect is actually the change in frequency or wavelength of a wave, depending on the relative motion between the source of the wave and the observer. This effect is responsible for phenomena like the change in pitch of a siren as it passes by.
Who discovered the Doppler effect?
Christian Doppler did not invent Doppler Radar. He described what is now known as the Doppler effect in 1842 in Austria. It is used to describe the behavior of waves (such as light or sound) that are emitted by a moving object. Doppler radar, which utilizes the Doppler effect, was developed in the United States during World War II.
