Can anyone tell me what the doppler wavelength shift equation is?
thanks
thanks
The Doppler wavelength shift equation describes the change in wavelength of light due to the relative motion between the source and observer. There are three primary equations: one for a moving emitter, one for a moving receiver, and a combined equation. The relativistic Doppler shift is given by the formula λ = λ₀ √((1 + v)/(1 - v)), which accounts for high-speed scenarios. For calculating the wavelength shift of sunlight as observed from Earth, the classical formula suffices when considering the Earth's speed relative to the Sun.
PREREQUISITESAstronomers, physicists, and students studying wave phenomena and relativity will benefit from this discussion on the Doppler wavelength shift equations.
