Moving stars and changing colors The Doppler Effect Moving stars and changing colors

The Doppler Shift Have you ever noticed how a fire truck siren gets higher as the truck races towards you, then lower as it races away?

Johann Christian Doppler 1803-1853 Doppler Shift Johann Christian Doppler 1803-1853 This effect is called “The Doppler Shift,” which was first observed and named by Johann Doppler in the 19th century. We can see the Doppler Shift in any wave phenomena.

Waves from a Moving Source When a source of waves moves relative to an observer, the frequency observed is affected. As the wave approaches, its wavelength is shortened and its frequency is higher. As the wave leaves, its wavelength is lengthened and its frequency is lowered.

If a fire engine is stationary and turns its siren on, no matter where a person stood, the pitch (also known as frequency) of the siren sound would sound the same. This is because the sound waves carrying the sound are traveling at the same speed, no matter which direction they travel in.

HOWEVER, when the fire truck starts to move, it starts to “catch up” to the siren’s sound waves. The waves start to bunch up as they reach an observer’s ear drum, and he hears the siren’s pitch get higher. As the truck passes the observer, the sound waves stretch out behind it, and the observer hears the siren’s pitch get lower.

This is called “Blueshift” The Doppler Shift works for light waves, too. As an object – such as a star or galaxy – travels TOWARDS us, we see its light appear more BLUE than it really is, since the light waves become SHORTER as they reach earth and “bunch up.” This is called “Blueshift”

This is called “Redshift.” If a star is moving AWAY from us, its light will appear more RED than it really is, as its light waves are being STRETCHED OUT behind it as it moves away. This is called “Redshift.”

If the star is approaching us, colors are shifted to the Blue… …If moving away, they are shifted to the Red.

This is called “Hubble’s Law.” Edwin Hubble, by using the Doppler Shift, discovered in 1929 that most galaxies are moving away from us. In fact, the galaxies with the greatest redshift are the ones farthest from us. This is called “Hubble’s Law.”

Hubble’s Law states that galaxies are retreating from each other at a speed that is proportional to their distance. This means that galaxies that were farther apart at their beginning travel a greater distance than those originally located closer together during the same amount of time.
