About Doppler Effect

Authors: Ilgaitis Prūsis, Peteris Prūsis

The generally accepted explanation of the Doppler effect is that in the case, when the source of waves is moving towards the observer, each successive wave crest is emitted from a position closer to the observer than the crest of the previous wave causing an increase in the frequency and, vice versa, when the source of waves is moving away from the observer, the arrival time between successive waves is increased reducing the frequency. This statement is incomplete. It cannot explain the fact of Doppler shift conservation in photons when stars having emitted them do not exist any more. The article shows the actual reason of the Doppler effect, i.e., the independency of emitted waves from their source and Energy conservation law.
