The Doppler motion sensor I bought only outputs a non-amplified signal of a few micro-volts, whose frequency represents the speed at which an object is moving towards or away from the sensor.

The Doppler effect is an observed change in pitch (how high or low a sound is) when either the source of the sound or the listener is in motion. Imagine a car, its horn blaring, approaching you as ...

The Doppler Effect is physics that is so ingrained in our brain that even the movies get it right. Any time some character is walking down a street and a car or train rushes past, the sound of the ...

The Doppler Effect underlies the fact that many phenomenal experiences depend upon one's point of reference. The siren rises and falls in frequency with reference to you, a seated observer.

In Doppler effect radars, to detect a moving object, an unmodulated (CW) signal can be used. The receiver of the sensor processes the transmitted signal with the received signal reflected from a ...

Everyone has experienced the Doppler effect. An ambulance's siren has a higher pitch as it approaches you, and a lower pitch when moving away. Now, imagine that the pitch goes down as the ...

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.

Today people exploit the Doppler effect to track the motion of raindrops, cars and galaxies.

There is, however, one problem here. If a galaxy is moving on the top of the global expansion of the universe, then this motion, via the Doppler effect, contributes to the observed redshift.

The great thing is how precisely ALMA was able to measure the Doppler effect: to a few meters per second. In perspective, that's measuring the motion of gas 300 light-years away to within about 10 ...

Another reported observation of Doppler phenomenon in electron emission is the rotational Doppler effect, where the rotational motion of an object affects the energy of emitted radiation.
