    9.5 Doppler Effect

    Uploaded by

    john
    This document discusses the Doppler effect through several examples. It explains how the Doppler effect causes changes in frequency and wavelength for both sound waves and electromagnetic waves depending on whether the source is stationary or moving relative to the observer. Examples include an ambulance with a stationary or moving observer, and the observation of redshift in distant galaxies providing evidence of an expanding universe. Police radar guns are also discussed as an example where the total frequency change is doubled.
