h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hi Tango,

I like the entries title and the writing you have done already. It is work in progress, but I think for a subject as useful as this your approach is a little biased towards the Uni Project youre doing.

Doppler is verry useful and is a much wider amount subject. It could be nice iff you mentioned also a bit about the way doppler effect is used to mesure directions and distances, like in a radar.

Also, something a bit closer to your area of interest might be the low-earth orbit (LEO) satellites and the problems doppler effect have on them.

One last thing, there's a Uni Project on Radars. Check if they have an article on Doppler, or maybe some cross references and some links between the projects might be nice.

Hi

There's an entry about the same topic: A614116 - Universal Red Shift, which is in Peer Review right now. You might want to join forces there!

The Radar project doesn't have a 'Doppler' entry yet, but I'm going to write one because there's much to be said when it comes to MPRF and HPRF radars.

I have decided to change the title to: Doppler Effect in Reference to Stars. I have done this because I have little to no knowledge of other uses of the effect.

Thankyou for you comments, they are apprecieted.

You've got the bit about sound waves backwards:

'In sound this makes something moveing towards you sound lower, and something moveing away, higher...'

When in fact it should read:

'In sound this makes something moving towards you sound higher, and something moving away, lower...'

Sorry, that was a typo! I suppose it's up to you to fix?

That was a mistake, admit it. Subs make typos.

I am planning to sign up as a sub when this project is out of the way. I am just practicing!

Very wise. A lot of people think it's easy to produce Sub-standard work.

That's a good one, i'll have to remember that!
