Yes, this is not a trick question and has real world application. Classical physics only. Light traveling through air, modulated with a 1 KHz. signal. What is the formula for the Doppler Effect and does it apply to the modulated echo?

Thanks for thinking about my question. However I really want to know if the reflected wave's modulation is subject to the Doppler effect. Let me give an example. Assume an object is stationary and I am traveling towards the object. I transmit a continuous light beam that is modulated in...

I'm trying to detect a remote moving target. I know that if I send out a light beam against a distant target that is moving towards or away from me that the reflected light will be frequency shifted by a small amount. Now what if I amplitude modulated the light with an audio frequency. Would...
