Hey all,
I was just wondering something which I couldn't get my head around tonight. If special relativity states that the speed of light is constant for all observers, regardless of the reference frame of any observer, then how is it possible for light to Doppler shift? Wouldn't the frequency be unaffected by the rules special relativity laid out? I am probably just missing something here, so any knowledge or theories on this would be much appreciated!
Cheers
