Doppler Effect in Light Waves Calculator
The Doppler Effect in Light Waves Calculator will calculate the:
- Frequency of light waves due to the Doppler Effect when the source and receiver are separating from each other (red shift)
- Frequency of light waves due to the Doppler Effect when the source and receiver are approaching each other (blue shift)
| The frequency of light waves due to the Doppler Effect when the source and receiver are separating from each other (red shift) is Hz (Hertz) |
| The frequency of light waves due to the Doppler Effect when the source and receiver are approaching each other (blue shift) is Hz (Hertz) |
| Frequency of light waves due to the Doppler Effect when source and receiver are separating calculation |
