Mentz, this is greek to me. I am not as advanced in the theory as you probably. Could you give that in layman's speak please, with perhaps a resource link where I could read up more on the equations you just described
Could you guys provide me any pointers to links or sites where it is clearly shown how the entire time we measure visually by seeing events occur includes the (1 +- beta) factor (in addition to the gamme factor). I think that would conclude this discussion :D and help me to move on...
Thanks...
No I don't assume this. See my analysis of a hypothetical wave which travels at speed S in vacuum according to an observer at rest relative to the wave. The question is will this hypothetical wave display frame invariant velocity? And my answer is yes because?
If v is not small. The gamma...
@ Naty
No that's not what I am saying. In the rest frame of a observer, the distance between an event divided by the time taken for light from that event to get to the observer is always is always c (both measured in the rest frame of the observer. now when observer is stationary, the source...
This article shows a good animation:

The pulse frequency changes. I get that. But my point is that the pulse DURATION also must change...
Another thing is photon flux. Since frequency is increasing the number of photons that will be encountered by source and observer moving towards each other will increase.
Is the shortening of the duration of the pulses predicted by Doppler equations? If it is then I'm totally fine with that. I thought Doppler only predicted frequency shifts?
Since light is continuous, instead of a single 45 degree line to represent a photon, you could draw bands of red, amber and green as the light switches RED (1 sec) AMBER (1 sec) GREEN (1 sec) on the paper. You can see from my diagram that the period during which the photons are emitted contracts...
Thanks for the answer
Hi Mentz114,
Thanks for the answer. But the main point of my paper is not to derive Doppler Effect for frequency and wavelength.
It was to show that the time we experience a wave in (when we are moving) is different from the time the wave was emitted in.
So a...
I have done a little analysis of Doppler Effect and have tried to compile my thought in a document. My background is not physics thus, I am seeking validation/criticism from this community. I would very much appreciate it if you went through my work and pointed out where I might be wrong.
The...
