To work out a mathematical relationship of the “ dopplereffect ” , relating the pitch to the relative motion of source andobserver , the austrian scientist christian johann doppler placedtrumpeters on a railroad flat car and musicians with a sense ofabsolute pitch near the tracks . a locomotive engine pulled theflat car back and forth at different speeds for two days . themusicians on the ground “ recorded ” the trumpet notes as the trainapproached and as it receded 为了计算出“多普勒效应”的一个数学关系,即音调和运动中的声源和观察者之间的相对关系,奥地利科学家克里斯蒂?约翰?多普勒让几位吹号人坐在一节平板火车上,让几个对音调特别敏感的音乐家坐在铁轨附近。
She could have understood the meaning of a little stone - cutter s yard at columbia city , carving little pieces of marble for individual use , but when the yards of some huge stone corporation came into view , filled with spur tracks and flat cars , transpierced by docks from the river and traversed overhead by immense trundling cranes of wood and steel , it lost all significance in her little world 她能理解哥伦比亚城那个小采石场的性质,它是把大理石切割成小块出售给私人。但是当她看到巨大的石料公司的采石场,看到里面纵横交错的铁路专线和平板车,穿入石场的河边码头,和头顶上方的木制钢制大吊车,她就莫明其妙了。
