  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. Redshift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redshift

    If two objects are represented by ball bearings and spacetime by a stretching rubber sheet, the Doppler effect is caused by rolling the balls across the sheet to create peculiar motion. The cosmological redshift occurs when the ball bearings are stuck to the sheet and the sheet is stretched. [38] [39] [40]

  5. Twin paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_paradox

    The rate he can calculate for the image (corrected for Doppler effect) is the rate of the Earth twin's clock at the moment it was sent, not at the moment it was received. Since he receives an unequal number of red and blue shifted images, he should realize that the red and blue shifted emissions were not emitted over equal time periods for the ...

  6. 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 ...

  8. Spectral line shape - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_line_shape

    As the excited state decays exponentially in time this effect produces a line with Lorentzian shape in terms of frequency (or wavenumber). Doppler broadening. This is caused by the fact that the velocity of atoms or molecules relative to the observer follows a Maxwell distribution, so the effect is dependent on temperature. If this were the ...
