Wiktionary (0.00 / 0 votes) Rate this definition: Doppler effect (Noun). The apparent change in frequency or wavelength of a wave that is perceived by an observer moving relative to the source of the waves. Origin: From Johann Christian Andreas Doppler, the scientist who first proposed this effect.
The Doppler effect with sound is only clearly heard with objects moving at high speed, as change in frequency of musical tone involves a speed of around 40 meters per second, and smaller changes in frequency can easily be confused by changes in the amplitude of the sounds from moving emitters.he Doppler effect with sound is only clearly heard with objects moving at high speed, as change in frequency of musical tone involves a speed of around 40 meters per second, and smaller changes in frequency can easily be confused by changes in the amplitude of the sounds from moving emitters.
