Two ultrasonic transducers, the receiver stationary at the end on a linear air track, and the source mounted on a moving glider, are the basis for a Doppler shift experiment. The source frequency and the shifted receiver frequency are fed into a digital phase detector circuit which produces an output difference frequency with a sinusoidal waveform. This Doppler shift frequency can be measured directly and compared with the shift predicted from theory.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
