Use this learning module to explore the doppler effect. Learning module includes animations and videos to explain the concept.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students investigate behaviors of waves, and explore the Doppler effect phenomenon.

By the end of this section, you will be able to define Doppler effect, Doppler shift, and sonic boom; calculate the frequency of a sound heard by someone observing Doppler shift; and describe the sounds produced by objects moving faster...

Given diagrams, scenarios, or illustrations, students will identify the characteristics of the Doppler effect.

Learn about how the Doppler effect explains the change in pitch as a sound source moves in relation to you with this activity. This activity has the students making their own Doppler ball.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Discusses what the Doppler Effect is and how it occurs.

This physics tutorial focuses on the application of the Doppler effect to sound.

Review key terms and skills for the Doppler effect, including how to interpret wavefront diagrams.

Read a passage about the doppler effect in living tissue and answer the follow-up questions.

This high school physics lesson focuses on the application of the Doppler effect to sound. Discusses what the Doppler effect is, offers examples of its occurrence, and explains what shock waves and sonic boom are.

This hypertext physics course page illustrates and explains the Doppler effect. Users perform practice calculations for frequency shifts using the Doppler equation.

Visit this page to see an animation demonstrating the Doppler Effect. How do sound waves and electromagnetic waves behave similarly with this effect?

Learners investigate sound. Some topics examined are Doppler effect, interference of waves, and sound waves. The resource includes example problems with solutions and a chapter quiz.

This site provides a complete biography of Christian Doppler (1803-1853 CE), founder of the Doppler principle of sound waves. Includes quotes from Doppler and those who knew him, as well as an outline of his scientific achievements.

A biographical sketch of Christian Doppler (1803-1853), the Austrian mathematician whose study on the dependence of pitch upon the relative speed of source and observer resulted in the Doppler effect.

Kids learn more about the science and physics of sound. Pitch, acoustics, and the doppler effect. How the frequency of the sound wave affects the pitch we hear.

In this module, students investigate the properties and behavior of different types of waves.

In this tutorial, Bill Nye explains how you can use a piece of string and a noisemaker to demonstrate the doppler effect.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This guide gives a detailed overview of mechanical waves and the characteristics of waves. Covers wave behavior, including types of interference, resonance, and the...

A blog entry that explains the difference between diegetic sound in film (sound with an obvious, often visible source) and non-diegetic sound (where the source is not present). Includes a quote from Herbert Zettl. There is also a short...

Extensive information about how waves behave in an elastic medium. Covers different types of waves, their characteristics and behavior, the anatomy of the ear, the speed of sound in different media, the parts of a wave, and wave phenomena.
