Doppler Shift: Sound Discovery

The video explains the Doppler shift, a phenomenon where the pitch of sound changes as the source moves relative to an observer. Named after Christian Doppler, this effect was first explained in 1842. A notable experiment by Christophe Boies Ballard in 1845 used a steam train and horn players to demonstrate the effect, which was revolutionary in understanding sound waves. The Doppler shift applies to all wave types, including light, and remains a significant concept in physics.
