  2. Relativistic Doppler effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativistic_Doppler_effect

    The relativistic Doppler effect is the change in frequency, wavelength and amplitude [1] of light, caused by the relative motion of the source and the observer (as in the classical Doppler effect, first proposed by Christian Doppler in 1842 [2]), when taking into account effects described by the special theory of relativity.

  3. Doppler effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_effect

    The Doppler effect (also Doppler shift) is the change in the frequency of a wave in relation to an observer who is moving relative to the source of the wave. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The Doppler effect is named after the physicist Christian Doppler , who described the phenomenon in 1842.

  5. Relativistic beaming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativistic_beaming

    Only a single jet is visible in M87. Two jets are visible in 3C 31.. In physics, relativistic beaming (also known as Doppler beaming, Doppler boosting, or the headlight effect) is the process by which relativistic effects modify the apparent luminosity of emitting matter that is moving at speeds close to the speed of light.

On the coloured light of the binary stars and some other stars of the heavens or in the original German Über das farbige Licht der Doppelsterne und einiger anderer Gestirne des Himmels is a treatise by Christian Doppler (1842) [1] in which he postulated his principle that the observed frequency ...

  7. Doppler cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_cooling

    Doppler cooling involves light with frequency tuned slightly below an electronic transition in an atom. Because the light is detuned to the "red" (i.e. at lower frequency) of the transition, the atoms will absorb more photons if they move towards the light source, due to the Doppler effect. Consider the simplest case of 1D motion on the x axis.

  8. Problem solving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_solving

    Problem solving is the process of achieving a goal by overcoming obstacles, a frequent part of most activities. Problems in need of solutions range from simple personal tasks (e.g. how to turn on an appliance) to complex issues in business and technical fields.

  9. Electrophoretic light scattering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrophoretic_light...

    The frequency of light scattered by particles undergoing electrophoresis is shifted by the amount of the Doppler effect, from that of the incident light, :.The shift can be detected by means of heterodyne optics in which the scattering light is mixed with the reference light.
