5. New Concepts About Doppler's
Effect
Indian philosophical treatises are composed by ancient saints with minute and extra-sensory knowledge, which are completely scientific and true. More than 2500 years later they are able to give a solution of modern scientific problems.
According to Jain philosophy sound, darkness, light, shadow, and aura are absolutely the modifications of matter. And according to Jainism the most micro and completely indivisible particle of matter is called atom. Though the definition of atom in modern physics and in oriental philosophical scriptures is the same yet their concepts are quite different from each other.
Oriental concepts about light and sound are able to solve all difficulties or problems of modern physics.
Today, I am mentioning new concepts about Doppler's Effect in case of light. According to Special Theory of Releativity, Einstein gave a formula for
1-Cosovic the frequency of moving luminous objects as follows : 1=IT
V1-/02 Where r' denotes resultant frequency for moving bodies, f denotes frequency when the body is at rest, y and c are the velocities of moving bodies and light respectively. This is Doppler's principle for all velocities. When 0 = ( the equation
11-vlc assumes the perspicuous form f'- film
Vi+v/c
If here velocity of source of light is - c i.e. v = -c, it means ray of light and source of light have equal velocities in the forward direction. Then
