Issue Date: | 2-Sep-2004 | Publisher: | IOP Publishing | Journal: | European Journal of Physics | Abstract: | The formula for the frequency shift of a plane-polarized light wave reflected from a uniformly moving mirror is derived directly from the constant light speed postulate and the basic principles of wave optics. Unlike the original derivation by Einstein, our derivation does not involve Lorentz transformations. As such, it lies within the scope of a first course in special relativity. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12188/10985 | DOI: | 10.1088/0143-0807/26/4/009 |
