  2. Doppler effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_effect

    [1] [2] [3] The Doppler effect is named after the physicist Christian Doppler, who described the phenomenon in 1842. A common example of Doppler shift is the change of pitch heard when a vehicle sounding a horn approaches and recedes from an observer. Compared to the emitted frequency, the received frequency is higher during the approach ...

  3. Acoustic Doppler current profiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_Doppler_Current...

    Three common methods are used to calculate the Doppler shift and thus the water velocity along the acoustic beams. The first method uses a monochromatic transmit pulse and is referred to as "incoherent" or "narrowband". The method is robust and provides good quality mean current profiles but has limited space-time resolution.

  4. Sodar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SODAR

    More specifically, since they operate using the Doppler effect with a multi-beam configuration to determine wind speed, they are the exact in-air equivalent to a subclass of sonar systems known as acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCP). Other names used for sodar systems include sounder, echosounder and acoustic radar. [1]

  5. Sound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound

    This is an acoustic resonance. When an additional piece of metal is attached to a prong, the effect becomes less pronounced as resonance is not achieved as effectively. Sound can propagate through a medium such as air, water and solids as longitudinal waves and also as a transverse wave in solids.

  6. Photoacoustic Doppler effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoacoustic_Doppler_effect

    The photoacoustic Doppler effect is a type of Doppler effect that occurs when an intensity modulated light wave induces a photoacoustic wave on moving particles with a specific frequency. The observed frequency shift is a good indicator of the velocity of the illuminated moving particles. A potential biomedical application is measuring blood flow.

  7. Acoustic wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_wave

    An acoustic wave is a mechanical wave that transmits energy through the movements of atoms and molecules. Acoustic waves transmit through fluids in a longitudinal manner (movement of particles are parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave); in contrast to electromagnetic waves that transmit in transverse manner (movement of particles at a right angle to the direction of propagation ...

  8. Distributed acoustic sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_acoustic_sensing

    Brillouin scatter occurs due to the interaction between the light and acoustic phonons travelling in the fiber. As the light is scattered by a moving phonon, its frequency is shifted by the Doppler effect by around 10 GHz. Light is generated at both above (anti-Stokes shift) and below (Stokes shift) the original optical frequency. The intensity ...

  9. Acoustic Doppler velocimetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_Doppler_velocimetry

    Acoustic Doppler velocimetry (ADV) is designed to record instantaneous velocity components at a single-point with a relatively high frequency. Measurements are performed by measuring the velocity of particles in a remote sampling volume based upon the Doppler shift effect.
