uestion is How does the second order term in teh relativistic doppler shift (v/c)^2 compare to the total classical Doppler Shift for the observer receeding away from the source?
now the doppler shift (relativistic) is \Delta f = |f_{0} (1-\sqrt{\frac{1-\beta}{1+\beta}})|
for the classical shift it is
\Delta f = |f_{0} (1-\frac{v_{rel}}{v}-1)| = | f_{0} \frac{v_{rel}}{v}|
but i dont see a (v/c)^2 term anywhere? How am i supposed to do this??
