Doppler Effect

The Doppler Effect As a wave source approaches, an observer encounters waves with a higher frequency. As the wave source moves away, an observer encounters waves with a lower frequency.

The Doppler Effect This apparent change in frequency due to the motion of the source (or receiver) is called the Doppler effect. The greater the speed of the source, the greater will be the Doppler effect. 3

The Doppler Effect Imagine a bug jiggling its legs and bobbing up and down in the middle of a quiet puddle. The crests of the wave it makes are concentric circles, because the wave speed is the same in all directions. If the bug bobs in the water at a constant frequency, the wavelength will be the same for all successive waves. The wave frequency is the same as the bug’s bobbing frequency. 5

Each wave crest has a shorter distance to travel so they arrive more frequently. The Doppler Effect The bug maintains the same bobbing frequency as before. However, an observer at B would encounter a higher frequency if the bug is moving toward the observer. Each crest has to travel farther than the one ahead of it due to the bug’s motion.

The Doppler Effect Light The Doppler effect also occurs for light. When a light source approaches, there is an increase in its measured frequency. When it recedes, there is a decrease in its frequency. 7

(This is an important slide) The Doppler Effect Increasing frequency is called a blue shift, because the increase is toward the high-frequency, or blue, end of the spectrum. Decreasing frequency is called a red shift, referring to the low-frequency, or red, end of the color spectrum. Distant galaxies show a red shift in their light. A measurement of this shift enables astronomers to calculate their speeds of recession. The red shift Is also a piece of evidence for the Big Bang theory. 8

Think and be prepared to answer this question tomorrow! The Doppler Effect Think and be prepared to answer this question tomorrow! When a source moves toward you, do you measure an increase or decrease in wave speed? 9

The Doppler Effect When a source moves toward you, do you measure an increase or decrease in wave speed? Answer: Neither! It is the frequency of a wave that undergoes a change, not the wave speed. 10
