Anatanoshi Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 (edited) The dopler effect is what makes objects far away seem smaller or sound weaker. Can anyone explain the science behind it? Edited March 6, 2017 by Anatanoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 The dopler effect is what makes objects far away seem smaller or sound weaker. Well, it changes the pitch. And is related to speed, rather than distance. Wikipedia has a simple explanation: https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensei Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 (edited) Doppler effect depends on velocity vector (not speed, like Strange said, which is scalar). If somebody is flying toward sound/light source, he/she will find out frequency is increased, but while flying in opposite direction, he/she will find out frequency is decreased..
