How can an approaching observer receive the information from a source at a higher rate (as an accelerated recording), while the information-carrying radiation could not?
I'm not sure what you mean. Can you be more specific about the scenario you have in mind?Speady said:How can an approaching observer receive the information from a source at a higher rate (as an accelerated recording), while the information-carrying radiation could not?
It's not clear what you are asking, but keep this in mind: Although the information-carrying radiation will travel at the constant speed of light, c, the density of information or frequencies in the radiation can change. There can be red or blue shifts and the information content density (rate) can decrease or increase.Speady said:How can an approaching observer receive the information from a source at a higher rate (as an accelerated recording), while the information-carrying radiation could not?
Why do you say this? It doesn’t seem correct to me. Be sure to show your work and keep track of the units. So far I don’t see anything in your discussion with units of m/s other than c.Speady said:The information had a higher velocity relative to B than relative to A
@Speady you have had multiple previous threads all pushing the same mistaken understanding on your part. Nothing has changed since those previous threads. Your claim here...Speady said:@Dale: what exactly are you missing or what is not entirely clear to you in my message #4?
...has already gotten you one misinformation warning. This topic has been discussed more than enough. If you post about it again you will receive another warning which will result in a temporary ban from PF.Speady said:I think the conclusion must be that radiation has a variable velocity relative to an observer, depending on the motion of the observer in the direction of the source.
