  • Summary

  • In this episode, we explore the Doppler Effect and how it behaves in the framework of special relativity. Most of us know the Doppler Effect from everyday examples, like the changing pitch of a siren as it passes by. But what happens when we consider it for light waves instead of sound? We’ll break down the relativistic Doppler Effect, explain how it’s different, and show its real-world applications, from studying distant galaxies to detecting speeding vehicles. By the end, you’ll understand how motion affects the color and frequency of light and why it’s a cornerstone concept in relativity.
