  2. 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.

  3. Relativistic beaming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativistic_beaming

    Aberration is the change in an object's apparent direction caused by the relative transverse motion of the observer. In inertial systems it is equal and opposite to the light time correction. In everyday life aberration is a well-known phenomenon. Consider a person standing in the rain on a day when there is no wind.

  4. 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.

  6. Relativistic aberration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativistic_aberration

    In this circumstance, the rays of light from the source which reach the observer are tilted towards the direction of the source's motion (relative to the observer). It is as if light emitted by a moving object is concentrated conically, towards its direction of motion; an effect called relativistic beaming. Also, light received by a moving ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_radar

    Doppler Effect: Change of wavelength and frequency caused by motion of the source. The formula for radar Doppler shift is the same as that for reflection of light by a moving mirror. [3] There is no need to invoke Albert Einstein's theory of special relativity, because all observations are made in the same frame of reference. [4]
