  2. Doppler effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_effect

    Fast moving satellites can have a Doppler shift of dozens of kilohertz relative to a ground station. The speed, thus magnitude of Doppler effect, changes due to earth curvature. Dynamic Doppler compensation, where the frequency of a signal is changed progressively during transmission, is used so the satellite receives a constant frequency ...

  3. Relativistic Doppler effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativistic_Doppler_effect

    The relativistic Doppler effect is the change in frequency, wavelength and amplitude [1] of light, caused by the relative motion of the source and the observer (as in the classical Doppler effect, first proposed by Christian Doppler in 1842 [2]), when taking into account effects described by the special theory of relativity.

  4. Observer effect (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observer_effect_(physics)

    In physics, the observer effect is the disturbance of an observed system by the act of observation. [1] [2] This is often the result of utilising instruments that, by necessity, alter the state of what they measure in some manner. A common example is checking the pressure in an automobile tire, which causes some of the air to escape, thereby ...

  5. Time dilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation

    When unspecified, "time dilation" usually refers to the effect due to velocity. After compensating for varying signal delays resulting from the changing distance between an observer and a moving clock (i.e. Doppler effect), the observer will measure the moving clock as ticking more slowly than a clock at rest in the observer's own reference frame.

  6. Flyby anomaly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flyby_anomaly

    A postulated consequence of the assumption that the speed of light is isotropic in all frames, and invariant in the method used to measure the velocity of the space probes by means of the Doppler effect. [14] The inconsistent anomalous values measured: positive, null or negative are simply explained relaxing this assumption.

  7. Redshift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redshift

    In the classical Doppler effect, the frequency of the source is not modified, but the recessional motion causes the illusion of a lower frequency. A more complete treatment of the Doppler redshift requires considering relativistic effects associated with motion of sources close to the speed of light.

  8. The AdELA Effect: How This Triple Threat Makes it Happen ...

    The stylization of AdELA’s name was a pure accident, a slip of the fingers at the caps-lock key that resulted in something unique. Similarly, AdELA became the CEO of Off the Burner Music through ...

  9. Gravitational redshift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_redshift

    Therefore, in a laboratory experiment at the surface of the Earth, all gravitational effects should be equivalent to the effects that would have been observed if the laboratory had been accelerating through outer space at g. One consequence is a gravitational Doppler effect. If a light pulse is emitted at the floor of the laboratory, then a ...
