Doppler Effect

Frontier in Imaging, Spectroscopy and Theranostic (FIST) Lab

Experience the Doppler effect firsthand with our demonstration! The Doppler effect is a phenomenon that occurs when there is relative motion between a wave source and an observer, causing a shift in the frequency of the wave. In our demonstration, we'll showcase this effect using various examples, such as moving sound sources or objects reflecting light. By observing the change in pitch or color, you'll gain a deeper understanding of how motion affects wave properties. This demonstration not only highlights the fundamental principles of wave dynamics but also illustrates the Doppler effect's applications in fields like astronomy, radar technology, and medical diagnostics. Join us for an interactive session that brings this fascinating concept to life!
