Relative motion. It is a change of wavelength (and thus it's derivative for any known speed 'frequency'), due to a wave sequence moving into a new medium which is in relative motion.
It is more commonly but simplistically just termed as the phenomenon of apparent change in the frequency of sound whenever there is a relative motion between the source and the listener.
With EM waves, a shortening of the wavelength is 'blue shift' bluer light, and a lengthening 'red shift'. (redder light.). In Astronomy we can tell if the distance to an emitter is 'closing' or 'opening' by the overall Doppler shift of the light.
Doppler effect is asymmetric in the case of sound but it is symmetric in the case of light.
It was found centuries ago by Christian Doppler, so a capital D should be used.
The observed frequency changes due to the velocity of the origin of the sound and/or the observer and in what directions they are moving relative to the other. If the source is getting closer to the observer or vice versa, the frequency increases as the sound waves grow closer together. If the two move away from each other, the observed frequency decreases as sound waves space out.
The Doppler principle is, essentially, a change in frequency because of motion. It is named after Austrian physicist Christian Doppler who proposed it in 1842.
The distance between the source and the receptor are changing.

The Doppler effect
For the Doppler effect to occur the measured object must be in motion (radial velocity) relative to the emitter of a wave.
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.
The amount of Doppler shift depends on speed - the faster vehicle will show more Doppler shift.
As far as I know, there will always be a Doppler effect when there is relative movement between the object that emits sound, and the observer (i.e. you, who are listening to the sound).
No. We observe the Doppler Effect in all forms of waves, including sound waves and all forms of electromagnetic radiation.
Both.
Both.
The Doppler effect is a phenomenon observed whenever the source of waves is moving with respect to an observer. The Doppler effect can be described as the effect produced by a moving source of waves in which there is an apparent upward shift in frequency for the observer and the source are approaching and an apparent downward shift in frequency when the observer and the source is receding. The Doppler effect can be observed to occur with all types of waves - most notably water waves, sound waves, and light waves.
Christian Doppler discovered the Doppler effect in 1842. He observed that the frequency of sound changes as the object of the sounds moves and the detector of the sound moves. Radar and medical devices use the Doppler effect to locate and provide images of scanned objects.
The change in frequency is caused by the Doppler Effect
Observed it and found out that the amplitude of beeps from it changes because of the Doppler effect.
Doppler Effect :)
No
the Doppler effect involves moving objectsthe Doppler effect involves moving objects
It only works with waves.
No, the Tyndall effect is observed only in colloids.
