Let's say the mistake is understandable, because it happens to coincide with the observation of a passing jet. ;)
I guess that's why Doppler explanations nearly always use an ambulance as their example.
- potato3732842 2y agoThe jet example will needlessly confuse people and create fodder for low effort "akshually" type commentary because the air getting sucked into the front and crammed out the back of the engine sound very different so you can get like most the same effect without the aircraft actually moving relative to the observer. People explaining doppler don't want to have to explain this to a bunch of nit pickers, so they use an ambulance.
