Ghost is correct...as he sometimes is...
The wavelength of any TRAVELING wave is absolute and frame independent.


Doppler effect for a wave from a source moving in a medium affects both
frequency and wavelength though.

The 'wavelength' of an OSCILLATOR (such as a spinning wheel), if defined
as
'the distance it travels in one of its cycles', IS of course frame
dependent.


Yes

Oscillators don't actually possess 'wavelengths'.


But you just defined what its wavelengtth is .. make up your mind

I think that's where your confusion lies.


I think you are showing your own confusion

And now then .. how does light move then .. is it like a moving oscillator,
where the frequency is fixed and the wavelength varies between observers, or
like a moving wave, where the wavelength is fixed and the frequency varies
between observers.

According to relativists, GPS clocks GAIN 38us per day on the ground clock.
That is due to two components, 45us for gravity and -7us for relative speed.


According to the 'religious jargon' the Schwarzschild metric
GPS clocks should gain 38us per day on the ground clock,
and according to continuous observations during 30+ years,
we know that GPS clocks do indeed gain 38us/day on the ground clock.


No they don't...but that's another matter.


Yes, they do. This is explained in the GPS specifications as well as
the original GPS test satellites which you have been quoted but will
never read.


Accordingly, an observer (OO) in GPS orbit would see the GC LOSING 52us per
day.


I see you are invoking your tick fairies again. :-)


When the ground clock shows X and the orbiting clock shows X+38us,
why do you think an orbiting observer would read that as X-14us and X+38us?
How can anybody disagree about what a clock shows?
What a veird idea. :-)


Well I never did see a plausible explanation or the '-7us/d speed component'.


That's because you are unwilling to understand the explanations given
to you. What you think is irrelevant.


Apparently, according to relativists, the GO is moving wrt the inertial frame
but not the OO.


Actually, according to physicists, neither are in inertial frames.

You are really something, Henry.
Is this scenario really so hard to grasp that
you have to screw it up and invoke your tick fairies
every second day?


Why does the OO not see the GC running 52us'd slow, as Jeckyl so wisely
claimed?


There is no symmetry, idiot. The frames are non-inertial.


Hahahahahahhahaha!

the ultimate SRian escape route. "IT ISN'T INERTIAL''


When you learn what an inertial frame is, you will understand why.

Not true, the reflected beam will be doppler shifted.

Yes, both wavelength and frequency experience a doppler shift.

Only in SR (though both have been observed). In Newtonian
math the frequency changes as per the Doppler, but theany waves
wavelength is unaltered.

It depends on who is moving relative to the medium (assuming we are
talking
about doppler shifting of waves in a medium) .. the source or the
observer.

In ballistic theory, there aren't really any waves in a medium (so how
*does* ballistic theory account for the wave-like behaviour of light?)


Hey, idiot, in SR there aren't really any waves in a medium.


SR says nothing about how light propagates other than its speed. It could
be waves in a medium ..


Ah! So you want to become an aetherist?

it could be particles ..


Ah! So you want to become a BaThist now?

it doesn't matter to SR as
long as it travels at speed c, as SR is not a theory about how light
propagates.


SR is not a theory about anything.

So .. what does BaTH say light is and how it travels?


It appears to behave like an 'oscillating package of energy'.

More lies from Dr Hlaf Witt

It appears to behave like an 'oscillating package of energy'.


So .. if that is what it is .. explain how you get a frequency and
wavelength from it, and how Doppler shift results in the observed changes in
both wavelength and frequency?

Your animation shows two completely different frequencies of light (whether
you look at it from the inertial or the rotating frame) .. but that is not
the case in a real ring gyro. As per usualy, you do your analysis and
animation on something that is NOT what you claim it to be. That makes you
a liar.

And you've still not said how light moves .. is it like a moving oscilator,
or like a wave?

Yes .. he really gets older (the twin that stays at home compared to the

You really are incredibly slow understanding things


my bad, sorry for thar


In the so-called twins paradox, the travelling twin has experienced less
elapsed time because its path through space-time (which involves changes

how would you know about others experiences


When they reunit they can have a nice little chat over some coffee .. that


but when thay reunit is too late, becus their internal
clocks clocks synchronously

and therfore you cant put your finger on his clock
and say "look, his clock si clocking slower than
tha other clock" you put yuor other finger on

end up having to talk to the stay-at-home-twins great great grandchildren
instead.


why that when their clocks are equal?


in
frame of reference) is different to that of the stay-at-home twin. One
can
say that more simply: the stay at home twin is older than the travelling
twin.

why, entropy goes faster staying home?


Why are you suddenly discussing entropy.


how not doing that?

explain


It is very simple .. less time has elapsed for the travelling twin compared
to the stay at home twin,


becus slower clock? you cant prove that his clock is
clocking slower than another standard clock

elapsing time makes no sense without a standard clock

because the travelling twin has taken a different
path through space-time


different from what path?

than the stay-at-home twin (from the event where


it says itself, he dident took any path becus
he stayed at home

they separate, to the event where they reunite).


they both had the same event?

you can not do that according to fluid dynamics
