Would it be correct to say that the Doppler effect is the apparent change in the speed of a wave due to motion of the source?
No, the doppler effect applies to changes in frequency.
Is the Doppler effect is an apparent change in the resonance of sound?
I believe it is more than just sound, it applies to light as well. It is actual, not apparent. It is the shortening of the wavelengths as it approaches and the lengthening of them as they get further away. This may not be the actual scientific name, but it is the idea.

What happen to the speed of a cart when a horse applies more force?
The speed of cart becomes fast when the horse applies more force
The law of conservation of energy applies-?
The law of conservation of energy applies in physical sciences, and states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed.
Does red shift have anything to do with irregular galaxies?
NoRed shift is the Doppler effect as it applies to the light from receding galaxies and stars.As the name suggests, "irregular" galaxies have no specific form, and so the group contains a very diverse selection of objects.

How many galaxies in super Mario galaxy?
There are 242; 121 by Mario and another 121 with Luigi.The same theorem applies to Super Mario Galaxy 2 apart from the fact Luigi's stars are turned to Green Stars.Hope this helped, AbenavxLucario :)
What are the two types of waves that display red shift?
The terms "redshift" and "blueshift" are used for electromagnetic waves. However, the underlying phenomenon - namely, the Doppler shift - applies to any type of wave.
Why do galaxies expand primarily on one plane as oppposed to all planes ie a plate instead of a sphere?
Because galaxies don't expand. The universe expands. Think of galaxies as little spots on a balloon. When you blow it up the surface gets larger not the little spots, but the spots do get further apart. Gravity creates the extreme flatness that you observe. Moments after the big bang the initial structure of the universe was set, that applies to the size of the galaxies as well. The only observable difference is the galaxies were a lot closer to each other in the beginning. Gravity then took over and started effecting the closest galaxies by pulling them closer together. The galaxies face a battle between the expanding universe and the gravity of other galaxies.
What scientists were involved in the big bang?
The question of what "started" the Big Bang is very much an open topic. We can't be sure that the concept of "started" even applies, since by definition there was nothing - no time, no space, no matter, and no existence - "before" the Big Bang. Or even if the concept of "before the Big Bang" has any validity.
What is the Doppler Shift as it applies to light?
That's more or less the same as the Doppler shift for other waves: a change of frequency, caused by relative movement between the source and the observer. When the distance is increasing the wavelength of the light increases. When the source of light and the observer are getting closer, the light's wavelength decreases. Red light has a longer wavelength than blue light.
What is the Doppler shift as it applies to light from stars?
You've probably heard the old classical description of the Doppler effect; if you're standing still near a train track, you can hear the sound of the moving train shifted to a higher frequency as the train is coming toward you, and as the train passes by, you can hear the sound shift down in pitch. The sound waves are bunched up a bit as the train is coming toward you, and you hear the train at an increased tone; when the train passes by and moves away from you, the sound waves are stretched out so you hear the sound at a lower pitch. By measuring the change in the sound, you can calculate quite accurately how fast the train was moving when it passed by. For stars, we're not listening to a tone; we're measuring the light spectrum, but the principle is the same. We know what the "normal" frequencies in the starlight would be, for a star not moving towards us or away from us. We measure specific spectrum patterns called "absorption lines". We can detect shifts in these patterns. So, we can measure whether the star is coming toward us (spectral lines at higher frequencies than normal) or is headed away from us (spectrum showing lower frequencies than normal). When we measure the light - and the Doppler shift - of other stars in our Galaxy, we see a mix of stars moving toward us, and stars moving away from us. This is perfectly normal. But when we measure the Doppler shift of the light from other galaxies, we see that most of the other galaxies are moving away from us, and that the farther away they are, the faster they are moving! Note: For those who like a bit of extra detail: The change in the light from distant galaxies is not a true Doppler shift. It's similar, but is caused by the expansion if space itself.
What is the similarity between research psychology and applied psychology?
That applied psychology will be based on the research at hand. It applies what we have discovered and what we know. Other than that - there are no similarities. Applied psychology is just that - it applies knowledge to the real world.

Does the moon charon have gravity?
Yes. Charon's gravity is just under 3% that of Earth.
