Police use dopler radars that only look for Doppler-shifted signals, and because the radar beam is a narrow beam, the radar detection only hits one car. Some police are now using a laser technique to measure the speed of cars. This technique is called lidar, and it uses short pulses of...
The wave nature of sound becomes apparent when a graph is drawn to show the changes in the concentration of air molecules at some point as the alternating pulses of compression and rarefaction pass that point. The graph for a single pure tone, such as that produced by a vibrating tuning for...
put on a pair of airline-supplied headphones, only to find that the roar of the jet engines prevented him from enjoying the audio.He started making calculations right there on the plane to see if it was possible to use the headphones themselves as a noise-reducing agent.Boseintroduced the f...

The Doppler effect describes the change in frequency or wavelength of a sound wave created by an object moving toward or away from an observer. Illustration:Charly Whisky. The ADCP affixed to the keel of a Saildrone unmanned surface vehicle (USV) emits a series of high-frequency pulses of sou...
to lag the most whenJupiterand Earth were moving away from one another, showed up ahead of time when the planets were approaching and occurred on schedule when the planets were at their closest or farthest points. This observation demonstrated what we today know as the Doppler effect, the ...
Upward-looking Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers at the site recorded the flow character of internal tides and the passage of three turbidity currents, while sediment cores collected from the site record flow deposits. Combined with flow and core data, the bathymetry shows how turbidity currents and...

it can also measure the speed and distance of objects using Doppler shift. The FM continuous wave LiDAR concept is not new, but faces a number of technical challenges, such as the linewidth limitation of the emitted laser, the frequency range of the linear FM pulses, the linearity of the ...
NEXRAD relies on the Doppler effect to calculate the position and speed of rain, snow and weather fronts. First, a radar unit emits a pulse of energy, which travels through the air until it encounters an object, such as a raindrop. Then the unit listens for an echo -- energy reflected...
