Special Relativity 6 - Doppler Shift for Light Speaker(s): Richard Epp
Abstract: Deriving the Doppler shift for light, from which all of special relativity follows.
Learning Outcomes: • Return to the thought experiment in SR-3. By replacing Newton’s assumption of Universal Time with Einstein’s Relativity Principle we arrive at the Doppler shift for light. • How the Doppler shift for light provides us with important clues about the nature of time as experienced by moving observers. • Understanding relativistic time dilation in terms of the geometry of spacetime.
