This page contains two short video clips of waves in a ripple tank.  One shows ripples from a stationary source that users can analyze to find the frequency and wavelength of the waves.  The second video shows the source moving at a constant velocity through the water. An analysis of this movie shows agreem ent with the Doppler formula.  LivePhoto Physics uses high-speed DV format videography in which action may be stepped frame-by-frame, enabling easy use of video analysis software.  The videos are 10-30 frames in length and may be viewed in step motion or real-time.  Position and time data may be measured and collected by using video-analysis tools.  

SEE RELATED ITEMS ON THIS PAGE for a link to download free Tracker video analysis software.  Tracker allows students to not only analyze the video in slow-motion, but also to overlay the videos with dynamical models to see how well the model matches the real world.  

This video is part of a larger collection of short physics videos developed by the Rochester Institute of Technology Live Photo Physics Project.
