Bow wave doppler effect. Animation of a boat producing bow waves that are closer together in the direction of its travel, and further apart in the opposite direction. This causes the observed frequency of the waves to be higher in the direction of travel, and a lower frequency in the opposite direction. This shift is known as the Doppler effect, after Austrian physicist Christian Doppler (1803-1853). The Doppler effect is also observed in other examples, such as light waves and sound waves. | |
