shifted

OpenStudy (danjs):

the doppler effect is a change in wave frequency. Light color is defined by the frequency of the wave. If the frequency changes, so does the color.

So the final answer is shifted?

OpenStudy (danjs):

Yeah, have you ever heard of "red shift" or "blue shift" for things moving very fast

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thx

OpenStudy (danjs):

If something is coming towards you at relativistic speeds (close to speed of light), the color will be shifted towards blue

OpenStudy (eric_d):

Vice versa : red

OpenStudy (danjs):

like wise towards red if the object is receding
