Doppler Effect Worksheet

Young scientists observe the spectra of elements and compare that to the Doppler effect. Hook scholars from the beginning all the way to the extension activities in this 5E-format lesson. 

Take your class on an intergalactic journey as they explore the galaxy and various meteorological events taking place in our atmosphere each day. Learners investigate electromagnetic waves and the Doppler Effect before gathering radar...

Slides and slides of emission spectra bring this topic to light for your physics class! Exited electrons returning to lower energy levels is offered as the cause of emission spectra. In summary, viewers learn that we can determine the...

The Red Shift concept can be one of the most confusing in physics. Learners may find it helpful to start with learning more about the Doppler Effect before introducing this video.

The universe is getting bigger and bigger! A video features an instructor explaining the Big Bang Theory and gives evidence to show the universe is still expanding. Discussion includes the doppler effect and the red-shift in the light...

The history of our understanding of the center of the universe is explored through this film. The ideas of Aristotle, Copernicus, Bruno, Descartes, and Herschel are included, as well as the new discoveries that have helped the theories...

Ever wonder why a siren sounds different when it's coming toward you than when it's going away from you? It all depends on the motion of the sound waves! The interactive activity demonstrates how the Doppler effect impacts the motion of...

By the end of this section, you will be able to define Doppler effect, Doppler shift, and sonic boom; calculate the frequency of a sound heard by someone observing Doppler shift; and describe the sounds produced by objects moving faster...

Incredible set of animations demonstrating the Doppler effect and shockwaves resulting from supersonic aircraft.

This hypertext physics course page illustrates and explains the Doppler effect. Users perform practice calculations for frequency shifts using the Doppler equation.
