light or gravity in general relativity, only the relative dif-

Doppler rst proposed this eect in 1842 in his treatise
"ber das farbige Licht der Doppelsterne und einiger an-
derer Gestirne des Himmels" (On the coloured light of
the binary stars and some other stars of the heavens).[2]
The hypothesis was tested for sound waves by Buys Bal-
lot in 1845.[3] He conrmed that the sounds pitch was
higher than the emitted frequency when the sound source
approached him, and lower than the emitted frequency

4 Application

4.1 Sirens
The siren on a passing emergency vehicle will start out
higher than its stationary pitch, slide down as it passes,
and continue lower than its stationary pitch as it recedes
from the observer. Astronomer John Dobson explained
the eect thus:

The reason the siren slides is because it doesn't

hit you.

In other words, if the siren approached the observer di-

rectly, the pitch would remain constant until the vehicle
hit him, and then immediately jump to a new lower pitch.
Because the vehicle passes by the observer, the radial ve-
locity does not remain constant, but instead varies as a
function of the angle between his line of sight and the
sirens velocity:

vradial = vs cos

where is the angle between the objects forward velocity

and the line of sight from the object to the observer.

4.5 Flow measurement

Instruments such as the laser Doppler velocimeter

(LDV), and acoustic Doppler velocimeter (ADV) have
been developed to measure velocities in a uid ow. The
LDV emits a light beam and the ADV emits an ultrasonic
acoustic burst, and measure the Doppler shift in wave-
lengths of reections from particles moving with the ow.
The actual ow is computed as a function of the water
velocity and phase. This technique allows non-intrusive
ow measurements, at high precision and high frequency.

4.6 Velocity prole measurement

Developed originally for velocity measurements in med-

ical applications (blood ow), Ultrasonic Doppler Ve-
locimetry (UDV) can measure in real time complete ve-
locity prole in almost any liquids containing particles in
suspension such as dust, gas bubbles, emulsions. Flows
can be pulsating, oscillating, laminar or turbulent, station-
ary or transient. This technique is fully non-invasive.

4.7 Satellite communication

Fast moving satellites can have a Doppler shift of dozens

of kilohertz relative to a ground station. The speed, thus
magnitude of Doppler eect, changes due to earth cur-
vature. Dynamic Doppler compensation, where the fre-
