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) |
