  • Doppler Effect is the shift in frequency of light when there is relative motion between the source and observer.
  • It is used to measure the speed of a receding object.
  • When the source is moving away from the observer then the wavefronts have to travel a greater distance to reach the observer.
  • When a star is moving away from the earth the wavelength in the middle of the visible region of the spectrum moves towards the red end of the spectrum.
  • As a result star looks more reddish when moves away from the earth.
  • This is known as red shift phenomenon.
  • When the waves are received from a sourcemoving towards the observer, there is an apparent decrease in wavelength. This is called blue shift.
