The Doppler Effect in Light Waves Calculator will calculate the:
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 |

f1 = f0 × √1 - v/c/1 + v/c f1 = × √1 - //1 + / f1 = × √1 - /1 + f1 = × √/ f1 = × √ f1 = × f1 = |
Frequency of light waves due to the Doppler Effect when source and receiver are approaching each other calculation |
f2 = f0 × √1 + v/c/1 - v/c f2 = × √1 + //1 - / f2 = × √1 + /1 - f2 = × √/ f2 = × √ f2 = × f2 = |
The Doppler Effect In Light Waves Calculator Input Values |
Speed of light in vacuum (c) m/s |
Original light frequency emitted by the source (f0) Hz |
Speed of the light source (v) m/s |
Please note that the formula for each calculation along with detailed calculations are available below. As you enter the specific factors of each the doppler effect in light waves calculation, the The Doppler Effect In Light Waves Calculator will automatically calculate the results and update the Physics formula elements with each element of the the doppler effect in light waves calculation. You can then email or print this the doppler effect in light waves calculation as required for later use.
