Doppler effect also known as Doppler shift, is the change in frequency of a wave for an observer moving relative to the source of the wave. E.g. the siren of a fast approaching train you heard usually much higher than a fast departing train.
The Doppler effect equation is:
  f = f0 * (v + vr)/ (v + vs)
Where:
v: the velocity of waves in the medium
vr: The velocity of the receiver relative to the medium, positive if the receiver is moving towards the source
vs: The velocity of the source relative to the medium, positive if the source is moving away from the receiver
fs: Emitted Frequency
f: Received Frequency

The most widely used Doppler effect application is radar, e.g. police radar and radar for air traffic control.
