THE DOPPLER SHIFT EFFECT
The Doppler shift effect consists in the change of wave frequency
registered by the receiver. The change is the difference between the wavelength in the
situation when the relative motion of the source proceeds from or to the waves receiver
and the situation when the source doesn't move. For light, as the source moves closer to
the observer, the spectrum is shifted toward violet; as the source distances from the
observer; the spectrum is shifted toward red. The shift of the spectral lines makes it
possible to determine the velocity of the waves' source movement with the respect to
the receiver (observer).
