Doppler Effect t
Have you ever wondered whythe whistle of a traveling, distant locomotive predicts its approach
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
several yards before anyone actually sees it? Or why an oncoming ambulance’s screaming siren is
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
heard momentarily several feet before the ambulance comes into full view, before it passes you,
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
and why its siren is still heard faintly well after the ambulance is out of sight?
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
What you are witnessing is a scientific phenomenon known as the Doppler Effect. What takes
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
place is truly remarkable. In both of these instances, when the train or ambulance moves toward the
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
sound waves in front of it, the sound waves are pulled closer together and have a higher frequency.
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
In either instance, the listener positioned in front of the moving object hears a higher pitch. The
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
ambulance and locomotive are progressively moving away from the sound waves behind them,
t t t t t t t t t t t t t
causing the waves to be farther apart and to have a lower frequency. These fast- approaching
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
modes of transportation distance themselves past the listener, who hears a lower pitch.

1. Which statement is not listed as a detail in the passage?
t t t t t t t t t t
A. The oncoming sound waves have a higher pitch because of high frequency and closeness of
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
waves.
t
B. The oncoming sound waves have a higher pitch because of low frequency and closeness of
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
waves.
t
C. The whistling sound of the locomotive as it approaches and passes can be explained by the
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
Doppler effect.
t t
D. The high-pitched sound of the ambulance as it approaches and passes can be explained by
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
the Doppler effect.

2. What is the main idea of the passage? t t t t t t t
A. Trains and ambulances make distinctly loud noises.
t t t t t t
B. Low-frequency waves make high-pitched sounds. t t t t
C. High-frequency waves make low-pitched sounds. t t t t
D. The Doppler Effect explains the rationale for why sound is heard initially more strongly
t t t t t t t t t t t t t
and then faintly after a moving object has passed.

Electrocardiogram
Beep!…Beep!…Beep! is the audible rhythmic sound made as the strength of the heart muscle is t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
measured. The signal cadence has a characteristic record that varies in every individual. This
t t t t t t t t t t t t t
record is called an electrocardiogram, or ECG.
t t t t t t t
In the body, an array of systemic neural responses constantly occur, emitting electric currents. The
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
electric currents can be detected on the surface of the body, and if a person is hooked to an amplifier,
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
these impulses are recorded by an electrocardiograph.
t t t t t t t
Most of the information obtained is about the heart because the heart sends out electric currents in
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
waves. This ―wave of excitation‖ spreads through the heart wall and is accompanied by
t t t t t t t t t t t t t
electric changes. The wave takes place in three distinct steps.
