===== Description =====

Consists of an aluminum tube with a speaker, 3kHz frequency generator, and 9V battery mounted inside a large green foam ball (which has been reinforced with duct tape). A string with a rubber handle is attached to one end of the cylinder.

===== Purpose =====

To demonstrate the Doppler effect. 

===== Apparatus =====

  * Doppler Ball

===== Setup =====

The unit is a self-contained apparatus containing a battery, oscillator and a speaker that is small enough to be whirled around one's head on a length of cord.  Switch on and whirl around one's head at a reasonable speed and an apparent change in frequency will be observed by the class. Due to safety concerns, this demo has now been enclosed in a green foam ball in the event that the one operating the demo has poor grip or something else goes wrong.
