Hello all, so let's suppose a photon is being gravitationally red or blue shifted changing its frequency which ultimately changes its energy, where does this energy change come from?
The Doppler effect is the change in frequency or wavelength of a wave in relation to an observer who is moving relative to the source of the wave. This effect is commonly observed with sound waves, where a moving source or observer can cause a shift in the perceived pitch of the sound.
The Doppler effect can cause a change in the energy of a wave, as the perceived frequency or wavelength is altered. This can result in a change in the amount of energy that is transferred by the wave, which can be observed in phenomena such as redshift and blueshift.
Energy change due to Doppler shift refers to the change in energy that occurs when the frequency or wavelength of a wave is altered by the Doppler effect. This can be seen in various situations, such as the change in energy of light from distant galaxies due to their relative motion.
No, the Doppler effect can affect any type of wave, including light waves and water waves. It is a fundamental principle in physics and can be observed in a wide range of phenomena.
The Doppler effect is used in various scientific and technological applications, such as in radar and sonar systems. It is also used in astronomy to study the motion and properties of celestial objects, and in medical imaging techniques such as Doppler ultrasound.
