6.5 Doppler effect




moving sound source or observer, reflection of sound from a moving object

The doppler effect is that since waves are unaffected by the speed of source which produces them, if a source moves relative to receive the wave (aka observer), the subsequent waves travel different distances to reach the observer, meaning the observer them at different frequencies from emitted.
