Abstract
The shift in frequency of a wave when either the transmitter or the receiver are moving with respect to the wave propagating medium was described by Doppler (1843). One of the earliest experiments to test this theoretical work was conducted by Buys Ballot (1845) with sound waves. In principle, sound and ultrasound are equivalent when deducting the formula of the frequency shift, whereas the deduction for electromagnetic waves will be different due to relativistic phenomena.
