You're sitting at a café, enjoying the recent balmy weather with an iced coffee. But ruining your sedate afternoon is the screeching siren of an approaching ambulance. As it nears, the sound seems to ...

Scientists have detected the Doppler effect — a quirk of physics that makes an ambulance's siren change pitch as it drives by — on the scale of a single molecule. The Doppler effect has been ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I cover the history of science and exploration. Today's Google Doodle celebrates the 214th birthday of Christian Doppler, whose ...

The Doppler effect can be heard particularly clearly when a train passes by. The presence of the same effect in the generalised telegraph equation indicates the wave nature of heat transport over ...

Anybody who has been passed by an ambulance at high speed has experienced a physical effect called the Doppler shift: As the ambulance moves toward the listener, its motion compresses the siren's ...

The Doppler effect refers to a noticeable change in frequency of light or sound waves as the distance between the source and the observer changes. It is either the source or the observer of a wave is ...
