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
