Dolby Digital, formerly known as AC-3, is a digital audio coding technique that reduces the amount of data needed to produce high quality sound. Dolby Digital takes advantage of how the human ear processes sound.
The Doppler Effect. The Doppler effect was named after Christian Doppler, who first came up with the idea in 1842. He learned that sound waves would have a higher frequency if the source was moving toward the observer and a lower freqency if the source was moving away from the observer. A commonly used example of the Doppler effect is a train. When a train is approaching, the whistle has a higher pitch than normal. You can hear the change in pitch as the train passes. The same is true with sirens on police cars and the engines of race cars.
