Doppler Effect

The Doppler effect is a phenomenon caused by a moving wave source that causes an apparent upward shift in frequency for observers who are approaching the source and a visible downward change in frequency for observers who are retreating from the source. It's crucial to note that the impact isn't caused by a change in the source's frequency.
