THE IDEA

When a wave source and observer move relative to each other, the observed frequency changes. The effect applies to sound, light and other waves.

WHAT VISITORS DISCOVER

Recognise the Doppler effect in everyday sound and connect it with scientific measurement in astronomy and sensing.

THE DESIGN RESPONSE

The supplied archive documents this topic as Node 19 within the 3BC exhibition area. The gallery presents three GOMI detailed-design visualizations from the construction-stage design package.
