Doppler Effect Calculator

Posted by Dinesh on

Calculate observed frequency or wavelength of a wave's observer moving source using doppler shift calculation tool. The Doppler effect (or the Doppler shift) is the change in frequency or wavelength of a wave (or other periodic event) for an observer moving relative to its source. It is named after the Austrian physicist Christian Doppler, who proposed it in 1842 in Prague.

Doppler Shift Calculation

Formula:

f = (c + vr / c + vs) × f0

where,
c - is the velocity of waves in the medium
f0 - emitted frequency
vr - is the velocity of the receiver relative to the medium; positive if the receiver is moving towards the source
vs - is the velocity of the source relative to the medium; positive if the source is moving away from the receiver
f - doppler effect observed frequency
