Why dont you notice the Doppler effect for a slow moving train?

The Doppler effect occurs whether the sound source or the listener is moving. You wont notice the Doppler effect on a slow moving train because the radio wave is reflected, its frequency changes depending on the speed of the object.


How is the Doppler effect on light waves analogous to the apparent change in pich of a passing train whistle?

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 change in frequency is caused by the Doppler Effect

What is the Doppler effect and is it useful?

It is the effect that happens when waves like sound are moving in relation to another object. In the classic train whistle example, The whistle suddenly drops in pitch as it passes you and starts to move away from you. This is because the sound waves now are stretched out, giving them a lower pitch. It is useful. Doppler radar used in weather forecasting is one example.
