A train whistle will increase in pitch (frequency) as the train comes towards you, and decrease in pitch as the train travels away from you. The sound waves will also be coming at you faster as the train comes toward you, and slower as the train travels away from you. If you mount a laser on a space vehicle capable of thousands of miles per hour, the same doppler effect can be see. The light will switch frequencies when viewed approaching as when seen receding. Light however, is unaffected by the motion of the transmitter or the receiver. It is always exactly c. Again, light is not a mechanical wave. It is particles with some wave-like properties. Mike |
