Introduction
The Doppler effect, named after Austrian Physicist Christian Doppler (1803-1853), decribes the apparent change in frequency of a wave when the wave source is moving relative to the observer. This results in the frequency increasing when the source is moving towards the observer and decreasing as the the source moves away.
