Abstract
It is well known that when an observer in free space is in motion relative to a source of monochromatic electromagnetic radiation, the frequency of radiation as seen by the observer will be higher than that of the source (blue shift) as the source and observer approach each other and will be lower (red shift) as they get farther apart. This effect is known as the “Doppler effect” and was introduced by Christian Doppler in 1843 [1], [2].
