A teaching tape for SR-09, Doppler and aberration
doppler aberration
Teaching tape demonstrating the relativistic Doppler effect and aberration under a 0.6c boost.
Open SR-09 with these settings
Where it starts
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Observer frame speed (beta) | 0.6 |
| Propagation angle (propagationAngleDeg) | 0 |
| Wave frequency (frequencyTHz) | 500 |
What it changes, and what to expect
Set Observer frame speed (beta) to 0.6 describes the same world from somewhere else
doppler-aberration-0.6
At 0.6c receding light along the axis halves its frequency (factor 0.5) while phase remains invariant.
These are the values the tape's author recorded, not a result this page computed. Nothing here runs the instrument. Open SR-09 with these settings: the link opens it with them already in place. Compare what it gives you with what is recorded here. The settings travel in the link and the laboratory reads them as it loads, so without JavaScript it opens at its worked example instead.
