  • DOPPLER EFFECT REFUTES SPECIAL RELATIVITY

    • Posted Dec 27, 2011 3:55 PM

      When it comes to rigorous deduction, even relativists (implicitly) admit that the motion of the observer cannot alter the wavelength of the light wave:

      http://members.home.nl/fg.marcelis/reldop.pdf
      The observer O receives a light wave from the source S. The wavelength of the emitted wave is Ls. (...) Let Ts be the time in which one wavelength is emitted as measured by a clock that is moving along with S. (...) Now let's suppose that the source is at rest and the observer is moving with velocity v in the direction of the source. Let To be the time in which the observer passes one wavelength, as measured by a clock that is moving along with the observer. In the time To the observer travels a distance v*To to the left and the light wave travels a distance Ls-v*To to the right. The light's distance is also equal to c*To.

      So Ls - v*To = c*To.

      Or c*Ts = c*To + v*To.

      The observed period in case of a moving observer is

      To = Ts(c/(c+v))
      __________________________________________
      [end of quotation]

      The last result, combined with the formula

      (frequency) = (speed of the light wave)/(wavelength)

      entails that the observer measures the frequency to be Fo=Fs(1+v/c) and the speed of the light wave to be c'=c+v.
