Which term describes an apparent change in frequency of sound waves of rapidly moving objects?
Doppler effect
The blank effect allows us to use the spectrum to study a source's motion?
The Doppler effect allows us to use the spectrum to study a source's motion. This effect causes a shift in the wavelengths of light emitted by a moving source, which can be detected and used to determine the direction and speed of the source's motion relative to the observer.
How does wavelength affect the Doppler Effect?
The Doppler Effect is the change in frequency of a wave due to the relative motion between the source and observer. For light waves, the Doppler Effect is primarily related to the velocity of the source or observer; the wavelength of light does not significantly affect the Doppler Effect. As the source or observer move toward each other, the perceived wavelength decreases (blue shift), while moving away from each other results in increased wavelength (red shift).
Who discovered the Doppler effect?
Christian Doppler did not invent Doppler Radar. He described what is now known as the Doppler effect in 1842 in Austria. It is used to describe the behavior of waves (such as light or sound) that are emitted by a moving object. Doppler radar, which utilizes the Doppler effect, was developed in the United States during World War II.
What is the dopler affect?
The Doppler effect is the change in frequency or wavelength of a wave in relation to an observer moving relative to the source of the wave. This phenomenon is commonly experienced when a siren of a moving vehicle seems to change pitch as it passes by. The Doppler effect is used in various fields, such as astronomy to study celestial bodies and in medical imaging techniques like Doppler ultrasound.
What can the Doppler effect tell us about in astronomy?
It can tell us whether a star, or a galaxy, is moving towards us or away from us.
What does the Doppler Effect tell astronomers about the universe?
It tells us that the Universe is expanding.
What does the Doppler affect tell astronomers about a star?
The star attracts the planet; the planet attracts the star. As a result of the latter, the star changes position. If this change is such that the star moves away from us during one part of the planet's orbit, and towards us at another (or more generally, the star's speed towards us, or away from us, changes slightly), then this can be detected as a Doppler shift.

How can you tell that some galaxies are far away and moving rapidly towards us?
You can tell by the blueshift in the spectrum; the only reasonable explanation for this blueshift is the Doppler effect. - Please note that most galaxies are moving away from us, not towards us.
How does it affect to animals?
First, tell us what it is.
How many Doppler radars are in the US?
There are 155 Doppler radars across the US and around 122 local offices.
Where was the first Doppler radar used in the US?
The exact location of where the first Doppler radar system was used cannot be determined because the first radar systems were mobile.
Does a star that shows no Doppler shift move?
If there is no observable Doppler shift, then the star is probably not moving very fast. This refers to the component of the star's movement toward us, or away from us - the "sideways" part of the movement can't be determined by the Doppler effect.
Do you use the Doppler effect or particle accelerators to measure the speed of stars?
The Doppler effect is used to detect whether a star is moving away from us or towards us. This method doesn't tell us anything about a star's "sideways" movement. OR The Doppler Effect should be corrected for the (gravitational) size of the star, since gravity also changes the light's energy. re: Sideways movement, I thought special relativity reacts to sideways motions? Besides, how long can a star be traveling sideways -- technically, no distance.
How is the Doppler effect used in astromomy?
It is used to determine whether an object is approaching us, or moving away from us. It turns out that - as can be seen from the Doppler effect - most galaxies are moving away from us. In other words, the Universe is expanding.
