SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on the distinction between the classical Doppler effect and the relativistic Doppler effect, emphasizing that the latter incorporates time dilation. A practical example provided is the "transverse Doppler" effect, which illustrates pure time dilation. The link shared (http://spiff.rit.edu/classes/phys314/lectures/doppler/doppler.html) offers further insights and experiments related to these concepts.
