- Like all waves light waves also get Doppler shifted. In the case of light waves, the Doppler shift only depends on the relative velocity.
- When the source is moving towards the observer frequency will increase and when it is moving away frequency will decrease.
- The Doppler shift in frequency for light waves is given by,
Here f is the observed frequency, f0 is the emitted frequency, v is the relative velocity, and c is the speed of light.
