  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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. Doppler broadening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_broadening

    A particular case is the thermal Doppler broadening due to the thermal motion of the particles. Then, the broadening depends only on the frequency of the spectral line, the mass of the emitting particles, and their temperature , and therefore can be used for inferring the temperature of an emitting (or absorbing) body being spectroscopically ...

  6. 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.

  7. Dynamic light scattering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_light_scattering

    Dynamic light scattering (DLS) is a technique in physics that can be used to determine the size distribution profile of small particles in suspension or polymers in solution. [1] In the scope of DLS, temporal fluctuations are usually analyzed using the intensity or photon autocorrelation function (also known as photon correlation spectroscopy ...

  8. Photoacoustic Doppler effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoacoustic_Doppler_effect

    The photoacoustic Doppler effect is a type of Doppler effect that occurs when an intensity modulated light wave induces a photoacoustic wave on moving particles with a specific frequency. The observed frequency shift is a good indicator of the velocity of the illuminated moving particles. A potential biomedical application is measuring blood flow.

  9. Distributed acoustic sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_acoustic_sensing

    Brillouin scatter occurs due to the interaction between the light and acoustic phonons travelling in the fiber. As the light is scattered by a moving phonon, its frequency is shifted by the Doppler effect by around 10 GHz. Light is generated at both above (anti-Stokes shift) and below (Stokes shift) the original optical frequency. The intensity ...
