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.


What does the Doppler Effect provide evidence for?

The Doppler effect proves that sound travels in waves.


What exactly is the Doppler effect?

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.
