  2. Doppler effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_effect

    [1] [2] [3] The Doppler effect is named after the physicist Christian Doppler, who described the phenomenon in 1842. A common example of Doppler shift is the change of pitch heard when a vehicle sounding a horn approaches and recedes from an observer. Compared to the emitted frequency, the received frequency is higher during the approach ...

  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 radar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_radar

    A Doppler radar is a specialized radar that uses the Doppler effect to produce velocity data about objects at a distance. [1] It does this by bouncing a microwave signal off a desired target and analyzing how the object's motion has altered the frequency of the returned signal.

    Photoacoustic Doppler effect (Doppler effects) (radar signal processing) (radio frequency propagation) (wave mechanics) Photoelectric effect (Albert Einstein) (electrical phenomena) (foundational quantum physics) Photorefractive effect (nonlinear optics) Photothermal effect (particle physics) (photochemistry) (physics)

  6. Twin paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_paradox

    The rate he can calculate for the image (corrected for Doppler effect) is the rate of the Earth twin's clock at the moment it was sent, not at the moment it was received. Since he receives an unequal number of red and blue shifted images, he should realize that the red and blue shifted emissions were not emitted over equal time periods for the ...

  9. Time dilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation

    When unspecified, "time dilation" usually refers to the effect due to velocity. After compensating for varying signal delays resulting from the changing distance between an observer and a moving clock (i.e. Doppler effect), the observer will measure the moving clock as ticking more slowly than a clock at rest in the observer's own reference frame.
