No, Seto, When using general relativity, there is no need for
special relativity separately. You don't understand relativity
at all and should take the time to do some self education.

AS far as GPS goes, I've tried to steer you to accessible literature
but for whatever reason you won't even look at "Relativistic Effects
on Satellite Clocks"

It is a shame that a professor working in the field of
electromagnetism does not realize that an accurate mathematical model
in Doppler effect must involve the dot product where it spells out
exactly where the signal is going and received. Are you guys at
Trondheim really that clumsy? Or is it just you who cannot take the
pressure of the real world?

According to the mathematical method come up with by the self-styled
physics in the past 100 years, the Galilean transform should indicate
no Doppler shift? Why is that?

Gee! The classical Doppler effect is simpler than that. It is merely
an algebraic manipulation of vectors. I will leave the following as a
homework assignment for our professor from the University of
Trondheim.

f2 = f1 sqrt[(c^2 - 2 [c] * [v2] + v2^2) / (c^2 - 2 [c] * [v1] +
v1^2)]

Where

** [v1], [v2] = Velocities relative to the stationary background of
the medium
** * = Dot product of two vectors [] and []

Hint:

** f lambda = c
** Invariant lambda

According to Maxwell's equations, k is a vector which in my
terminology should be written as [k] in this text editor. It is more
subtle in complexity than you think. <shrug>

Try the following and holding c as invariant instead of lambda.

So then you should be able to understand the calculation

Koobee Wublee wrote:

The following derivaton has no other purpose than showing
that the Lorentz transform don't lead to "a reverse Doppler effect".

That the wave is propagating along the velocity of the primed
frame in the unprimed frame is a special case chosen to keep
the calculation simple.

The challenge to Koobee Wublee is to point out an error
in _this_ simple calculation.

Try again Koobee?

A wave propagating in the positive x direction
in the unprimed frame can be written:
E cos(phi(t,x)) where phi(t,x) = wt - (w/c)x

Let the primed frame be moving at v along the positive x-axis.

The same wave transformed to the primed frame can be written:
E' cos(phi'(t',x')) where phi'(t',x') = w't' - (w'/c)x'

Applying the LT transform:
t = g(t' + vx'/c2)
x = g(x' + vt')
g = 1/sqrt(1-v2/c2)
yields:
wt - (w/c)x = wg((t' + vx'/c2) - (w/c)g(x' + vt')
= wg(1-v/c)t' - (w/c)g(1-v/c)x'
= w't' - (w'/c)x'

Thus:
w' = wg(1-v/c) = w sqrt((1-v/c)/(1+v/c))

The wave is red shifted in the primed frame.

REPEAT:
The challenge is to point out an error in the derivation.
If you can't do that, your claim that the LT leads
to "a reverse Doppler effect" is proven wrong.

Why these non sequiturs, Koobee?

Don't you understand that:
If the wave has the frequency w' in the primed frame,
an observer in the unprimed frame will measure the frequency
w = w' sqrt(1 + v / c) / sqrt(1 - v / c)
which is a blue shifted compared to w'.

The derivation you snipped is still correct, so your claim:
"Notice the classical Doppler effect for sound cannot be derived
using your method."
is proven wrong.

| An acoustic wave propagating in the positive x direction
| in the unprimed rest frame of the medium can be written:
| A cos(phi(t,x)) where phi(t,x) = wt - (w/c)x

|
| The same wave transformed to the primed frame can be written:
| A' cos(phi'(t',x')) where phi'(t',x') = w't' - (w'/(c-v))x'
| (The speed of sound in the prined frame is c-v)
|
| Applying the Galilean transform:
| t = t'
| x = x' + vt'
| yields:
| wt - (w/c)x = wt' - (w/c)(x' + vt')

| = w't' - (w/c)x'
|
| Thus:
| w' = w(1-v/c)
| The wave is red shifted in the primed frame.
| Note that k' = w/c = k

And after having read this, you can snip it,
and give me this hint. :-)

It should tell you that E cos(wt - (w/c)x) is a solution
of Maxwell's wave equation for EM-waves in free space.

The challenge was to find an error in the transformation
of this particlar wave to a moving frame of reference.
You have failed to do so.

Repeating a posting where you failed to point out an error won't do.

Here is the derivation again:

A wave propagating in the positive x direction
in the unprimed frame can be written:
E cos(phi(t,x)) where phi(t,x) = wt - (w/c)x

Let the primed frame be moving at v along the positive x-axis.

The same wave transformed to the primed frame can be written:
E' cos(phi'(t',x')) where phi'(t',x') = w't' - (w'/c)x'

Applying the LT transform:
t = g(t' + vx'/c2)
x = g(x' + vt')
g = 1/sqrt(1-v2/c2)
yields:
wt - (w/c)x = wg((t' + vx'/c2) - (w/c)g(x' + vt')
= wg(1-v/c)t' - (w/c)g(1-v/c)x'
= w't' - (w'/c)x'

Thus:
w' = wg(1-v/c) = w sqrt((1-v/c)/(1+v/c))

The wave is red shifted in the primed frame.

Can you point out an error, Koobee?
