  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. 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.

  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.

    Inside, a light is shone upwards to a mirror on the ceiling, where the light reflects back down. If the height of the mirror is h, and the speed of light c, then the time it takes for the light to go up and come back down is: = However, to the observer on the ground, the situation is very different.

  6. Laser surface velocimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_surface_velocimeter

    The differential Doppler process. The Doppler effect (or Doppler shift) is the change in frequency of a wave for an observer moving relative to the source of the wave. The wave has a frequency f and propagates at a speed c When the observer moves at a velocity of v relative to the source, they receive a different frequency f' according to

  7. Twin paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_paradox

    It may be difficult to see where simultaneity came into the Doppler shift calculation, and indeed the calculation is often preferred because one does not have to worry about simultaneity. As seen above, the ship twin can convert his received Doppler-shifted rate to a slower rate of the clock of the distant clock for both red and blue images.

  9. Planar Doppler velocimetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planar_Doppler_velocimetry

    The Doppler shift, Δf d, is related to the fluid velocity. The relatively small frequency shift (order 1 GHz) is discriminated using an atomic or molecular vapor filter. This approach is conceptually similar to what is now known as Filtered Rayleigh Scattering (Miles and Lempert, 1990).
