Doppler Effect

This document discusses Doppler's effect and how it can be applied to sonar and radar systems. It explains that Doppler's effect causes a change in frequency that is detected based on the relative velocities between the source and receiver. Some key applications of Doppler's effect are using sonar to detect the velocity and position of submarines, and using radar to detect the velocity of aircraft relative to the radar system. Limitations to Doppler's effect occur when the source or receiver velocities exceed the speed of sound or radio waves.

DOPPLERS EFFECT

can be applied in accoustic

subtraction of velocities can not apply here

doppler effect.

and to find out doppler shift Einstein theroy of


relativity can be used.

4.

Iimitation - If Vs > V or

Vo > V then

There is no such limitation

doppler shift not visulised because in this


cases shock waves are produced for which
wave front is distorted & in this case
Hygens wave theroy cannot be applied.
