Physics Classroom is making strides to make our site accessible to
everyone, and features many accessibility features.
Our site contains 6 navigation areas. The Primary, Secondary,
and Page Level navigations have a screen reader version of their nav
structure that allows using the left and right keys to navigate sibling
navigation items, and up or down keys to navigate parent or child
navigation items. The others can be navigated using tabs.
Within the main content, we leverage headers to provide in page or
in tool navigation.
Although we are still rebuilding our content to leverage these tools,
our images should have both short and verbose descriptions, the later
describing in great detail the image for those who cannot see. Any
formulas found within the images are often in the image figure below the image.
Equations and formulas are rendered using MathJax, which has both verbal,
braille (including nemath braille), and keyboard navigation within them.
Learn how to configure and leverage this for various screen readers on our
Equation Navigation Page.
While not every area of
Physics Classroom is usable purely from keyboard and screen reader, we
are committed to continue work on making this possible. If you have
questions or need additional help, please use

The Doppler Effect Video Tutorial discusses the conceptual and mathematical nature of the Doppler effect. Four example problems, instructive diagrams, and animations assist in the explanations.
The Calculator Pad, Sound Waves Chapter, Problem Set SM9
If you're looking for some practice problems that utilize the Doppler Equation, you will find them here at The Calculator Pad. Scroll down and tap on Problm Set SM9. Numbers will be randomized. A Check Answer button allows you to check your answer. And you can repeat your try if you miss.
Curriculum Corner: Sound and Music
Try our Curriculum Corner for a Think Sheet or a whole unit of Think Sheets and get your students thinking about waves. We have a short Think Sheet on the Doppler Effect in our Sound and Music unit. If the video is homework; then these are awesome next day starters. This is free curriculum for the taking. And for a few extra bucks, you can obtain the source documents and purchase a license to place them and any deriviative from them on your course management pages; see the Solutions Guide.
The Calculator Pad, Sound Waves Chapter, Problem Set SM9
If you're looking for some practice problems to assign students that utilize the Doppler Equation, you will find them here at The Calculator Pad. Scroll down and tap on Problm Set SM9. Numbers will be randomized. A Check Answer button allows students to check their answer and receive immediate feedback. And students can hae an endless number of attempts.
Minds On Physics, Sound and Music Module, Mission SM4
You can't be sure they understand until they complete the Minds On Physics mission on the topic. Try Mission SM4 as an effective formative assessment of student understanding.
Physics Classroom Tutorial, Vibration and Waves Chapter, Lesson 3, The Doppler Efffect
Our written tutorial pages provide a thorough, easy-to-understand, common-sense approach to Physics topics. This particular page addresses the same topics covered in the video. As such, it makes a great reference for a quick check-up or clarification of an idea.
