Randy, that equation is only defined for a static v.
So if you start changing v, the doppler effect stops until you
leave v alone for a while? How does the doppler effect know to stop
and start up again?
C'mon, Ben. Where did I imply that it stops and starts?
When you stated
Randy, that equation is only defined for a static v.
I had the same impression as Ben.
Ah, I see. The word "valid" would have been much clearer
than "defined" then. A point to remember, thanks.
I hope it's clear now that I don't mean that the effect
stops, but rather that the common equation describing it
stops being the correct one.
