The Doppler Effect
2
The perceived change in wavelength of a wave that is produced by a source that is moving away or toward a source.
4
In Astronomy , the Doppler effect is used to:
Determine whether a star or other body in space is moving away or toward Earth. A star that is moving away appears redder (longer wavelength). A star moving towards Earth appears blue (shorter wavelength)
5
Briefly summarize the relationship between Doppler shift and the speed of a moving object.
What can you infer about a star that exhibits a red shift in its spectra?
