Ds=2.2E-17

Doppler Shift Formula Elements

Variables
Doppler Shift
Doppler Shift is defined as the change in the wavelength or frequency of the waves with respect to the observer who is in motion relative to the wave source.
Symbol: Ds
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Recoil Energy
Recoil Energy is the energy that is transferred to a shooter or other object when a gun is discharged, or when an atom or nucleus undergoes a change.
Symbol: Er
Measurement: EnergyUnit: eV
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Energy Difference in MS
Energy Difference in MS between two energy levels in an atom is directly related to the energy of the photon that is emitted or absorbed when there is a transition between the levels.
Symbol: Ed
Measurement: EnergyUnit: eV
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Energy of GammaRay
Energy of GammaRay is the highest energy in the EMR spectrum and their waves have the shortest wavelength. Scientists measure the energy of photons in electron volts (eV).
Symbol: Eg
Measurement: EnergyUnit: eV
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
