Explaining the Doppler Effect using the Q50 bus

Not bad... I would revise a few things though in terms of your choice of words. Also what does Far Rockaway Depot have to do with the presentation??

 

P.S. The word is decided not desided. ;)

Far Rockaway is there for decoration and for a few extra statements like explaining the use of sunlight in the Doppler Effect (originally explaining water waves too but that was cut out). What do you have in mind for terms of my choice of the wording?

I would record the sound, extract the waveform, and then show visually how the doppler effect stretches that waveform as the source of the sound gets farther away. Getting that waveform will be made more difficult by the inclusion of other ambient noises.

Quite a bit: For starters, Titles should always be capitalized save words such "of" "the" etc. (if they don't start the title), so the title should be "When Sound Moves" (minus the quotes of course

 

Slide 2: If this Q50 bus made noise when it passed you...

             What would you hear as it approached you?

             Would the sound from the bus become louder or quieter?

             Would the sound from the bus differ as it accelerated away from you?

 

Slide 5: One example of a light wave using the Doppler Effect includes:

 

I would either omit that Far Rockaway Depot logo or better incorporate it.

 

Slide 6: The sunlight changes the frequency of the brightness based on your position.

 

Slide 7: Here is a more in-depth example of the Doppler Effect being used.

 

Slide 8: As the Q50 bus approached closer to the camera, the engine's frequency increased.

             Meanwhile, as the Q50 bus traveled away from the camera, the sound decreased.

             The above action is due to the shift in frequency when the Q50 drove away from the camera.

 

You also need to ensure that you give proper credit to pictures that aren't yours.  If you know who the original authors are, it would be wise of you to list them accordingly.

I tried that, but for some reason I couldn't get the noise to play without showing a video.

Ok I did most of your suggestions, but IDK if I could find the proper owners 100% using Google.
