Doppler radar wouldn't be possible if the speed of light were infinite. Also it wouldn't be possible if the electromagnetic waves didn't reflect on objects. Also it helps a lot if those electromagnetic waves have a particular frequency as opposed to a wide spectrum.

What has the electromagnetic spectrum got to do with the Doppler Effect?

The Doppler effect affects any wave, including electromagnetic waves. Basically, the idea of the Doppler effect is that the frequency of a wave increases when an object approaches you, and it decreases when it moves away from you. You can imagine that the sound waves, or electromagnetic waves, become compressed when the emitting object moves toward you.


Is the Doppler effect is the same as sound waves?

I fear you're confused - BUT : The Doppler effect is similar for both sound waves and electromagnetic radiation (light, radar).


Can Doppler's Effect only be observed in sound waves?

No. We observe the Doppler Effect in all forms of waves, including sound waves and all forms of electromagnetic radiation.

What types of waves are associated with the Doppler effect?

The Doppler effect is associated with various types of waves, including sound waves, light waves, and other electromagnetic waves. It describes how the frequency of the waves changes relative to an observer's motion.

What instrument do they use for a tornado?

Meteorologists use a radar instrument called Doppler radar to detect tornadoes. Doppler radar can detect the rotation within a thunderstorm, which is a key indicator of possible tornado formation.


What is the Doppler efect?
