Doppler Effect like never before (Pure Logic)

preview_player
Показать описание
Doppler effect is the apparent change in the frequency (pitch) of the sound due to relative motion between the source and the listener.

Why do you care? Well for one, you hear it almost every single day
For two, the police interceptors use this effect to give you speeding tickets and many more
Let us learn intuitively what it is and how it happens, the mathematical formulation for it and also I will support the explanation with a concrete demo

This is also the video I am submitting for Khan academy

#KAIndiatalentsearch

About the demo:
First of all I notice that the difference in the frequency is quite small, about 4 to 5 hz tops (in the fundamental mode), but be rest assured this was no error. I actually did a lot of trials (I waved my phone so many times) and I analyzed all of them, and I saw a pretty consistent result. The reason that the change is so small is because the speed of the source (my phone) was very small compared to the speed of sound in air (1200 km/hr). You can even calculate the speed of my hand using the data, it comes to around 7 to 8 km/hr

Fundamental frequency and Harmonics.
My phone is supposed to create a sound of just 1000 hz. But the app used is a free app. So it doesn't create a pure 1000 hz tone. Usually they also create higher frequencies which are integral multiples of the fundamental frequencies. These are called harmonics.
So I was concentrating on the fundamental and the second harmonic. And in the demo I showed that both (actually all of the harmoics) get Doppler shifted, Hopefully that doesn't confuse you :)
You should try this yourself. The required software is called Audacity its a freeware you can find it over here

And for the tone generation just download some free app from the app store (a simple one would do)

This is how astronomers understand what the speed of galaxies and stars are, they check doppler shift of their emitted frequencies, but more on that in future episodes :)

did you just clear Doppler effect for people for life in just 10 mins? Great job bro. huge respect.

You can't imagine how much I yearned to see you. Saw your Khan Academy videos today and was left in tears. You cleared almost all doubts I had, you seemed to be in perfect sync with me and perhaps many other kids like me. Went to quora to see you, and voila! Am here. Just came to say thank you to you personally...

Well done, even from those early days!!

I saw this video prompted from your latest one on having reached 50k subscribers (which I see posted on 29/Nov/23. In it, you indicate that you will present e=mcsquared next, and then you further indicated something about doppler shifts which you will try to incorporate into the video. I will wait till you present the e=mcsquared video and what you will say about doppler shifts there. And in that video I will then post a response considering the doppler shifts of starlight.

You had alluded a bit about the difference between the doppler shifting of sound and of light in the earlier part of the 30k video, but I must wait to fully hear you out. More later.

It was great luck for the world that Khan discovered you …!!!
I am so grateful to you for explaining some small but important details, intuitions … thank you !!!

Excellent video! I loved the use of Audacity. Gave me some ideas to try out in my class. Especially loved your energy and excitement while explaining, that too while explaining to a camera! To compress everything in under 10 minutes is a great achievement!
