Relativistic Doppler effect
Relativistic Doppler effect. There is an apparent shift in the observed frequency of any electromagnetic wave (light) when there is any relative motion between the source of light and the observer. This can be easily determined by using the 4-vector formulation of theory of relativity. Lets discuss the details of this phenomena under two situations.…
