| The Doppler Shift Equation For An Accelerating Frame of Reference |
| The Confessing Seventh-day Adventist • Information |
| http://www.everythingimportant.org/SDA/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=969 |
| The exact equation for the Doppler shift in a uniformly accelerating rocket is derived in two differ ent ways. The first method depends on a functional equation and Einstein’s approximation. The second approach is a direct application of several familiar equations in the relativity of uniformly accel erated motion. |
