Doppler Effect
Have you ever wondered why the whistle of a traveling, distant locomotive
predicts its approach several yards before anyone actually sees it? Or why an
oncoming ambulance’s screaming siren is heard momentarily several feet before
the ambulance comes into full view, before it passes you, and why its siren is still
heard faintly well after the ambulance is out of sight?
What you are witnessing is a scientific phenomenon known as the Doppler Effect.
What takes place is truly remarkable. In both of these instances, when the train or
ambulance moves toward the sound waves in front of it, the sound waves are
pulled closer together and have a higher frequency. In either instance, the listener
positioned in front of the moving object hears a higher pitch. The ambulance and
locomotive are progressively moving away from the sound waves behind them,
causing the waves to be farther apart and to have a lower frequency. These fast-
approaching modes of transportation distance themselves past the listener, who
hears a lower pitch.
