Doppler Effect & Light Doppler Effect & Light WavesWaves What happens to light waves whe
n a star moves?
Doppler Effect & Light Doppler Effect & Light WavesWaves In front of source (star)In front of source (star)
– Light waves are compressed Light waves are compressed – Wavelengths are made shorter as Wavelengths are made shorter as
the spectral lines are shifted toward the spectral lines are shifted toward blue end of the spectrumblue end of the spectrum
