The aperant change in frequancy of wave motion due to the relative motion of listner and source this is called Doppler effect.

Doppler Effect can be defined as the increase or decrease in the frequency of sound or light or any other waves as the source or observer moves towards ( away from ) each other.This effect makes a sudden change in pitch noticeable in a passing syren as well as by the Red shift seen by the astronomers .
          Actually it was stated by Austrian Physicist Christia Doppler in 1842 in Prague,Capital of Czec Republic.
