$400 Question Sound

Haley is going to drop a pie on your head from a high altitude. To stop you from getting pied, Jack tries to sabotage Haley by placing a buzzer in the pie. The buzzer creates a tone of about 19,500 Hz. Do you think you will get hit with the pie? Why?

$400 Answer Sound

Yes, since the pie is traveling toward you, the frequency increases due to the Doppler Effect. A human can’t hear over 20,000 Hz and has trouble even with frequencies approaching that so most likely you wont hear it coming.

Final JeopardyWhat does the fact that some starts look blue and some stars look red indicate about motion of the star… and why?

Final Jeopardy AnswerDue to the Doppler Effect, starts moving away from us have lower frequencies so they appear red and stars moving toward us have higher frequencies so they look blue.
