| The '''relativistic Doppler effect''' is the change in [[frequency]] (and [[wavelength]]) of [[light]], caused by the relative motion of the source and the observer (as in the classical [[Doppler effect]]), when taking into account effects described by the [[special relativity|special theory of relativity]].
| |
| | |
| The relativistic Doppler effect is different from the non-relativistic [[Doppler effect]] as the equations include the [[time dilation]] effect of [[special relativity]] and do not involve the medium of propagation as a reference point. They describe the total difference in observed frequencies and possess the required [[Lorentz symmetry]].

| In Diagram 2, the blue point represents the observer, and the arrow represents the observer's velocity vector. When the observer is stationary, the ''x'',''y''-grid appears yellow and the ''y''-axis appears as a black vertical line. Increasing the observer's velocity to the right shifts the colors and the [[aberration of light]] distorts the grid. When the observer looks forward (right on the grid), points appear green, blue, and violet ([[blueshift]]) and grid lines appear farther apart. If the observer looks backward (left on the grid), then points appear red ([[redshift]]) and lines appear closer together. The grid has not changed, but its ''appearance'' for the observer has.

| |
| Diagram 3 illustrates that the grid distortion is a relativistic optical effect, separate from the underlying [[Lorentz contraction]] which is the same for an object moving toward an observer or away.
| |
| | |
| ==Analogy==
| |
| Understanding relativistic Doppler effect requires understanding the [[Doppler effect]], [[time dilation]], and the [[aberration of light]]. As a simple analogy of the Doppler effect, consider two people playing catch. Imagine that a stationary pitcher tosses one ball each second (1 Hz) at one meter per second to a catcher who is standing still. The stationary catcher will receive one ball per second (1 Hz). Then the catcher walks away from the pitcher at 0.5 meters per second and catches a ball every 2 seconds (0.5 Hz). Finally, the catcher walks towards the pitcher at 0.5 meters per second and catches three balls every two seconds (1.5 Hz). The same would be true if the pitcher moved toward or away from the catcher. By analogy, the relativistic Doppler effect shifts the frequency of light as the emitter or observer moves toward or away from the other.
| |
| | |
| To understand the aberration effect, again imagine two people playing catch on two parallel conveyor belts (moving sidewalks) moving in opposite direction. The pitcher must aim differently depending on the speed and the spacing of the belts, and where the catcher is. The catcher will see the balls coming at a different angle than the pitcher chose to throw them. These angle changes depend on: 1) the instantaneous angle between the pitcher-catcher line and the relative velocity vector, and 2) the pitcher-catcher velocity relative to the speed of the ball. By analogy, the aberration of light depends on: 1) the instantaneous angle between the emitter-observer line and the relative velocity vector, and 2) the emitter-observer velocity relative to the speed of light.

| ==Motion along the line of sight==
| |
| | |
| Assume the observer and the source are moving ''away'' from each other with a relative velocity <math>v\,</math> (<math>v\,</math> is ''negative'' if the observer and the source are moving ''toward'' each other). Considering the problem in the [[Frame of reference|reference frame]] of the source, suppose one [[wavefront]] arrives at the observer. The next wavefront is then at a distance <math>\lambda=c/f_s\,</math> away from him (where <math>\lambda\,</math> is the [[wavelength]], <math>f_s\,</math> is the [[frequency]] of the wave the source emitted, and <math>c\,</math> is the [[speed of light]]). Since the wavefront moves with velocity <math>c\,</math> and the observer escapes with velocity <math>v</math>, the time (as measured in the reference frame of the source) between crest arrivals at the observer is
| |
| :<math>t = \frac{\lambda}{c-v} = \frac{c}{(c-v)f_s} = \frac{1}{(1-\beta)f_s},</math>
| |
| where <math>\beta = v / c\,</math> is the velocity of the observer in terms of the speed of light (see [[beta (velocity)]]).
| |
| | |
| Due to the relativistic [[time dilation]], the observer will measure this time to be
| |
| :<math>t_o = \frac{t}{\gamma},</math>
| |
| where
| |
| :<math>\gamma = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\beta^2}}</math>
| |
| is the [[Lorentz factor]]. The corresponding observed frequency is
| |
| :<math>f_o = \frac{1}{t_o} = \gamma (1-\beta) f_s = \sqrt{\frac{1-\beta}{1+\beta}}\,f_s.</math>
| |
| The ratio
| |
| :<math>\frac{f_s}{f_o} = \sqrt{\frac{1+\beta}{1-\beta}}</math>
| |
| is called the '''Doppler factor''' of the source relative to the observer. (This terminology is particularly prevalent in the subject of [[astrophysics]]: see [[relativistic beaming]].)
| |
| The corresponding [[wavelength]]s are related by
| |
| :<math>\frac{\lambda_o}{\lambda_s} = \frac{f_s}{f_o} = \sqrt{\frac{1+\beta}{1-\beta}},</math>
| |
| and the resulting [[redshift]]
| |
| :<math>z = \frac{\lambda_o - \lambda_s}{\lambda_s} = \frac{f_s - f_o}{f_o}</math>
| |
| can be written as
| |
| :<math>z = \sqrt{\frac{1+\beta}{1-\beta}} - 1.</math>
| |
| In the non-relativistic limit (when <math>v \ll c</math>) this redshift can be approximated by
| |
| :<math>z \simeq \beta = \frac{v}{c},</math>
| |
| corresponding to the classical Doppler effect.
| |
| | |
| ==Systematic derivation for inertial observers==
| |
| | |
| Let us repeat the derivation more systematically in order to show how the [[Lorentz transformation|Lorentz equations]] can be used explicitly to derive a relativistic Doppler shift equation for waves that themselves are not relativistic.
| |
| | |
| Let there be two inertial frames of reference, <math>S</math> and <math>S^\prime</math>, constructed so that the axes of <math>S</math> and <math>S^\prime</math> coincide at <math>t=t^\prime=0</math>, where <math>t</math> is the time as measured in <math>S</math> and <math>t^\prime</math> is the time as measured in <math>S^\prime</math>. Let <math>S^\prime</math> be in motion relative to <math>S</math> with constant velocity <math>v</math>; without loss of generality, we will take this motion to be directed only along the x-axis. Thus, the [[Lorentz transformation|Lorentz transformation equations]] take the form
| |
| [[Image:Standard conf.png|right|thumb|300px|The system set up here is the standard one used in most physics text books (e.g. Landau and Lifshitz, The Classical Theory of Fields, Course of Theoretical Physics: Volume 2). The <math>S^\prime</math> reference frame moves with speed <math>v</math> relative to the <math>S</math> reference frame along the positive x-axis, and the reference frames coincide completely at <math>t=t^\prime=0</math>.]]

| The derivation begins with what the observer in <math>S^\prime</math> trivially sees. We imagine a signal source is positioned stationary at the origin, <math>O^\prime</math>, of the <math>S^\prime</math> system. We will take this signal source to produce its first pulse at time <math>t_1^\prime = 0</math> (this is ''event 1'') and its second pulse at time <math>t_2^\prime = 1/f^\prime</math> (this is ''event 2''), where <math>f^\prime</math> is the frequency of the signal source as the observer in <math>S^\prime</math> sees it. We then simply use the Lorentz transformation equations to see when and where the observer in <math>S</math> sees these two events as occurring:

| |
| | |
| The period between the pulses as measured by the <math>S</math> observer is ''not'', however, <math>t_2 - t_1</math> because ''event 2'' occurs at a different point in space to ''event 1'' as observed by the <math>S</math> observer (that is, <math>x_2 \neq x_1</math>) — we must factor in the time taken for the pulse to travel from <math>x_2</math> to <math>x_1</math>. Note that this complication is ''not'' relativistic in nature: this is the ultimate cause of the Doppler effect and is also present in the classical treatment. This transit time is equal to the difference <math>x_2 - x_1</math> divided by the speed of the pulse as the <math>S</math> observer sees it. If the pulse moves at speed <math>-u^\prime</math> in <math>S^\prime</math> (negative because it moves in the negative x-direction, towards the <math>S</math> observer at <math>O</math>), then the speed of the pulse moving ''towards'' the observer at <math>O</math>, as <math>S</math> sees it, is:
| |
| | |
| :<math>-u = \frac{-u^\prime + v}{1 + (-u^\prime) \frac{v}{c^2}},</math>
| |
| | |
| using the Lorentz equation for the velocities, above. Thus, the period between the pulses that the observer in <math>S</math> measures is:

| |
| |<math>\tau</math> || <math>= t_2 - t_1 + \left( \gamma \frac{v}{f^\prime} \right) \left( \frac{u^\prime - v}{1 - v u^\prime / c^2} \right)^{-1} </math>

| | || <math>= \frac{\gamma}{f^\prime} + \frac{\gamma}{f^\prime} \frac{v}{u^\prime - v} \left(1 - v u^\prime / c^2 \right).</math>
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| Replacing <math>\tau</math> with <math>1/f</math> and simplifying, we get the required result that gives the relativistic Doppler shift of ''any'' moving wave in terms of the stationary frequency, <math>f^\prime</math>:
| |
| :<math>f = \gamma \left( 1 - \frac{v}{u^\prime} \right) f^\prime.</math>
| |
| Ignoring the relativistic effects by taking <math>v \ll c</math> or <math>c \rightarrow \infty</math> (equivalent to <math>\gamma \rightarrow 1</math>) gives the [[Doppler effect|classical Doppler formula]]:
| |
| :<math>f = \left( 1 - \frac{v}{u^\prime} \right) f^\prime.</math>
| |
| For electromagnetic radiation where <math>u^\prime = c</math> the formula becomes
| |
| :<math>f = \gamma \left( 1 - \frac{v}{c} \right) f^\prime = \gamma \left( 1 - \beta \right) f^\prime = f^\prime \sqrt{\frac{1-\beta}{1+\beta}}</math>
| |
| or in terms of wavelength:
| |
| :<math>\lambda = \lambda^\prime \sqrt{\frac{1+\beta}{1-\beta}},</math>
| |
| where <math>\lambda^\prime</math> is the wavelength of the source at the origin <math>O^\prime</math> as the observer in <math>S^\prime</math> sees it.
| |
| | |
| For electromagnetic radiation, the limit to classical mechanics, <math>c \rightarrow \infty</math>, is instructive. The Doppler effect formula simply becomes <math>f = f^\prime</math>. This is the correct result for classical mechanics, although it is clearly in disagreement with experiment. It is correct since classical mechanics regards the maximum speed of interaction<ref group="note">See the article [[Speed of gravity]] for more discussion about the maximum speed of interaction of physical phenomena.</ref> — for electrodynamics, the speed of light — to be infinite. The Doppler effect, classical or relativistic, occurs because the wave source has time to move by the time that previous waves encounter the observer. This means that the subsequent waves are emitted further away (or closer) to the observer than they otherwise would be if the source were not in motion. The effect of this is to stretch (or compress) the wavelength of the wave as the observer encounters them. If however the waves travel instantaneously, the fact that the source is further away (or closer) makes no difference because the waves arrive at the observer no later or earlier than they would anyway since they arrive instantaneously. Thus, classical mechanics predicts that there should be no Doppler effect for light waves, whereas the relativistic theory gives the correct answer, as confirmed by experiment.<ref>{{cite book| title=The Classical Theory of Fields | series=Course of Theoretical Physics: Volume 2 | last1=Landau | first1=L.D. | authorlink1=Lev Landau | last2=Lifshitz | first2=E.M. | authorlink2=Evgeny Lifshitz | others=Trans.

| ==Transverse Doppler effect==
| |
| | |
| The ''transverse Doppler effect'' is the nominal [[redshift]] or [[blueshift]] predicted by [[special relativity]] that occurs when the emitter and receiver are at the point of closest approach. Light emitted at this instant will be redshifted. Light received at this instant will be blueshifted.
| |
| | |
| Assuming the objects are not accelerated, light emitted when the objects are closest together will be received some time later, at reception the amount of redshift will be
| |
| :<math>\frac{1}{\gamma} = \sqrt{1-v^2/c^2\,}.</math>
| |
| Light received when the objects are closest together was emitted some time earlier, at reception the amount of blueshift is
| |
| :<math>\gamma = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-v^2/c^2\,}}.</math>
| |
| | |
| Classical theory does not make a specific prediction for either of these two cases, as the shift depends on the motions relative to the medium.
| |
| | |
| The transverse Doppler effect is a consequence of the relativistic Doppler effect.
| |
| :<math>f_o = \frac{f_s}{\gamma\left(1+\frac{v\cos\theta_o}{c}\right)}</math>
| |
| | |
| In the frame of the receiver, θ<sub>0</sub> represents the angle between the direction of the emitter at emission, and the observed direction of the light at reception. In the case when θ<sub>0</sub> = π/2, the light was emitted at the moment of closest approach, and one obtains the transverse redshift
| |
| | |
| :<math>f_o=\frac {f_s} {\gamma} \,</math>
| |
| | |
| The transverse Doppler effect is one of the main novel predictions of the special theory. As Einstein put it in 1907: according to special relativity the moving object's emitted frequency is reduced by the Lorentz factor, so that the received frequency is reduced by the same factor.{{cn|date=January 2013}}
| |
| | |
| ===Reciprocity===
| |
| Sometimes the question arises as to how the transverse Doppler effect can lead to a redshift as seen by the "observer" whilst another observer moving with the emitter would ''also'' see a redshift of light sent (perhaps accidentally) from the receiver.
| |
| | |
| It is essential to understand that the concept "transverse" is not reciprocal. Each participant understands that when the light reaches him transversely as measured in terms of that person's rest frame, the other had emitted the light afterward as measured in the other person's rest frame. In addition, each participant measures the other's frequency as reduced ("[[time dilation]]"). These effects combined make the observations fully reciprocal, thus obeying the [[principle of relativity]].
| |
| | |
| ===Experimental verification===
| |
| {{Main|Ives–Stilwell experiment|l1=Ives–Stilwell-, Mössbauer rotor-, and Spectroscopy tests of time dilation}}
| |
| In practice, experimental verification of the transverse effect usually involves looking at the [[Longitudinal wave|longitudinal]] changes in frequency or wavelength due to motion for approach and recession: by comparing these two ratios together we can rule out the relationships of "classical theory" and prove that the real relationships are "redder" than those predictions. The transverse Doppler shift is central to the interpretation of the peculiar astrophysical object [[SS 433]].
| |
| | |
| The first longitudinal experiments were carried out by [[Herbert E. Ives]] and Stilwell in (1938), and many other longitudinal tests have been performed since with much higher precision.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Ives |first=H. E. |authorlink= |coauthors=Stilwell, G.

| ==Motion in an arbitrary direction==
| |
| | |
| If, in the reference frame of the observer, the source is moving away with velocity <math>v\,</math> at an angle <math>\theta_o\,</math> relative to the direction from the observer to the source (at the time when the light is emitted), the frequency changes as
| |
| :<math> f_o = \frac{f_s}{\gamma\left(1+\frac{v\cos\theta_o}{c}\right)}.</math> (1)
| |
| In the particular case when <math>\theta_o=90^{\circ}\,</math> and <math>\cos\theta_o=0 \,</math> one obtains the [[transverse Doppler effect]]:
| |
| :<math>f_o = \frac {f_s} {\gamma}. \,</math>
| |
| Due to the finite speed of light, the light ray (or photon, if you like) perceived by the observer as coming at angle <math>\theta_o \,</math>, was, in the reference frame of the source, emitted at a different angle <math>\theta_s \,</math>. <math>\cos \theta_o \,</math> and <math>\cos \theta_s \,</math> are tied to each other via the [[relativistic aberration formula]]:
| |
| :<math>\cos \theta_o=\frac{\cos \theta_s-\frac{v}{c}}{1-\frac{v}{c} \cos \theta_s} \,.</math>
| |
| Therefore, Eq. (1) can be rewritten as
| |
| :<math>f_o = \gamma\left(1-\frac{v\cos\theta_s}{c}\right)f_s.</math> (2)
| |
| {{clr}}
| |
| For example, a photon emitted at the right angle in the reference frame of the emitter (<math>\cos \theta_s = 0 \,</math>) would be seen blue-shifted by the observer:
| |
| :<math>f_o = \gamma f_s. \,</math>
| |
| In the non-relativistic limit, both formulæ (1) and (2) give
| |
| :<math>\frac{\Delta f}{f} \simeq -\frac{v\cos\theta}{c}.</math>

| == Accelerated motion ==
| |
| [[File:Relativistic Doppler effect (accelerated motion in an arbitrary reference frame).png|465px|thumb]]
| |
| For general accelerated motion, or when the motions of the source and receiver are analyzed in an arbitrary inertial frame, the distinction between source and emitter motion must again be taken into account.
| |
| | |
| The Doppler shift when observed from an arbitrary inertial frame:<ref>{{cite web

| |
| | |
| where:
| |
| :<math> \vec{v_s} </math> is the velocity of the source at the time of emission
| |
| :<math> \vec{v_o} </math> is the velocity of the receiver at the time of reception
| |
| :<math> \vec{c} </math> is the light velocity vector
| |
| :<math> \theta_{cs} </math> is the angle between the source velocity and the light velocity at the time of emission
| |
| :<math> \theta_{co} </math> is the angle between the receiver velocity and the light velocity at the time of reception
| |
| | |
| If <math> \vec{c} </math> is parallel to <math> \vec{v_s} </math>, then <math> \theta_{cs} = 0^{\circ}</math>, which causes the frequency measured by the receiver <math>f_o</math> to increase relative to the frequency emitted at the source <math>f_s</math>. Similarly, if <math> \vec{c} </math> is anti-parallel to <math> \vec{v_s} </math>, <math> \theta_{cs} = 180^{\circ}</math>, which causes the frequency measured by the receiver <math>f_o</math> to decrease relative to the frequency emitted at the source <math>f_s</math>.
| |
| | |
| This is the classical Doppler effect multiplied by the ratio of the receiver and source Lorentz factors.
| |
| | |
| Due to the possibility of refraction, the light's direction at emission is generally not the same as its direction at reception. In refractive media, the light's path generally deviates from the straight distance between the points of emission and reception. The Doppler effect depends on the component of the emitter's velocity parallel to the light's direction at emission, and the component of the receiver's velocity parallel to the light's direction at absorption.<ref>{{cite web

| |
| | |
| The transverse Doppler effect can be analyzed from a reference frame where the source and receiver have equal and opposite velocities. In such a frame the ratio of the Lorentz factors is always 1, and all Doppler shifts appear to be classical in origin. In general, the observed frequency shift is an invariant, but the relative contributions of time dilation and the Doppler effect are frame dependent.
