The Doppler effect is a phenomenon that occurs when there is a change in frequency or wavelength of a wave in relation to an observer who is moving relative to the wave source. This effect is commonly associated with sound waves, but it also applies to electromagnetic waves, such as light. ### Key Points of the Doppler Effect: 1. **Source and Observer Movement**: - If the wave source moves toward the observer, the waves are compressed, resulting in a higher frequency (or shorter wavelength).
