∙ 9y agoFalse. The Doppler Effect is also important to and observable in astronomy by its characteristic red or blue shift. This can indicate whether bodies are moving toward or away from their observer.

∙ 10y agoNo. Doppler shift is also observed in electromagnetic waves. A Doppler shift in visible light is what lead to the discovery of an expanding universe.
Doppler radar uses the Doppler shift with radio waves and microwaves to measure the movement of raindrops in storms, which is a proxy for wind speed.
(Comment: Strictly speaking the expanding Universe causes the "Cosmological redshift", which is only similar to a Doppler redshift.)

What types of waves are associated with the Doppler effect?
The Doppler effect is most noticed when it comes to three types of waves. They are water waves, sound waves and light waves.
What is the Doppler effect on sound?
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.
Is the Doppler Effect something that only exists for sound waves?
Nope. Has nothing to do with it!
Which term describes an apparent change in frequency of sound waves of rapidly moving objects?
Doppler effect
The change in frequency of sound waves in the Doppler effect is hear as a change in what?
A change in pitch.
What does the Doppler Effect provide evidence for?
The Doppler effect proves that sound travels in waves.
Can Doppler's Effect only be observed in sound waves?
No. We observe the Doppler Effect in all forms of waves, including sound waves and all forms of electromagnetic radiation.
What kind of waves shows the Doppler effect?
Sound Waves.
What types of waves are associated with the Doppler effect?
The Doppler effect is most noticed when it comes to three types of waves. They are water waves, sound waves and light waves.
Is the Doppler effect is the same as sound waves?
I fear you're confused - BUT : The Doppler effect is similar for both sound waves and electromagnetic radiation (light, radar).
Can the Doppler effect occurs only with sound waves?
yes it is true for all waves.

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.
Which term describes an apparent change in frequency of sound waves of rapidly moving objects?
Doppler effect
The change in frequency of sound waves in the Doppler effect is hear as a change in what?
A change in pitch.
Why does the siren get lower as it gets farther away?
This is due to the Doppler Effect. The Doppler Effect explains how a source of sound, in this case the siren, is catching up with the sound waves it emits. The space between waves is consequently shorter. This produces a higher frequency sound. As the source passes you, it is speeding away from the sound waves. The waves are spread further apart, thus producing a lower frequency.
