Relativistic Doppler effect
1. Doppler effect for sound
We have found in the Doppler effect for soud lecture ,
the following results:
1. Moving source forward an observer at rest
ƒobs = ƒ . Vw/(Vw+ Vs)
Where ƒobs is the apparent frequency for the
Observer, and ƒ is the real frequency of the wave.
2. Moving source toward an observer at rest
ƒobs = ƒ . Vw/(Vw- Vs)
ƒobs is the apparent frequency.
3. Moving source and observer
ƒobs = ƒ . (Vw+Vo)/(Vw-Vs)
2 Relativistic Doppler effect for light
According to the dilatation of time, we have
ƒ = 1/T' = 1/γT, hence:
ƒobs = ƒ [(1 + v/c)/(1 - v/c)]1/2
for source and receiver approching, and
ƒobs = ƒ [(1 - v/c)/(1 + v/c)]1/2
for source and receiver receding
