Response: The Case of Absence of Transverse Doppler Effect

چکیده

A second error appears in the Comment: only one moving object (one rotating disk) had been considered according to Fig. (2). However, two moving objects (two disks rotating in opposite directions v and –v), had been used in [2], and special relativity predicts Doppler shifts between all moving objects. Hence, a shift is expected to occur for a signal emitted from a moving object (rotating disk 1) and received by another moving object (disk 2 in [2]), and this shift has been calculated correctly in [2] by using the relativistic addition theorem for velocities, yielding equations (13) and (14) in [2]. Ives and Stillwell [3] have done a completely different experiment not comparable to the experiment in [2]. Their measurement yielded a gamma factor due to the quantum-mechanical absorption of photons in the detectors thereby transferring mass of photons into the detectors. If they would have used reflectors instead of detectors no gamma factor would have been obtained as was shown by W. Engelhardt [4].

Comment on "The Case of Absence of Transverse Doppler Effect"

In the above paper [1], an extraordinary claim of experimental absence of the transverse Doppler effect is made. As stated in the abstract, “An experiment . . . showing that a 33-GHz microwave signal received by rotating antennas is not exhibiting the frequency shift (“transverse Doppler effect”) predicted by the relativistic Doppler formula.” In this comment, we will reanalyze the experiment a...

Absence of the relativistic transverse Doppler shift at microwave frequencies

An experiment is described showing that a 33-GHz microwave signal received by rotating antennas is not exhibiting the frequency shift (“transverse Doppler effect”) predicted by the relativistic Doppler formula. The sensitivity of the apparatus used has been tested to be sufficient for detecting frequency shifts as small as 10 3 Hz which corresponds to the value of (v c) = 5 10 14 used in the tr...

Background: Patients with a transverse vaginal septum generally present at the age of menarche with complain of cyclic pelvic or abdominal pain due to retention of blood above the obstruction. In the absence of menstruation this women did not have typical hematocolpos. Materials and Methods: A rare case of hypothalamic amenorrhea and transverse vaginal septum were reported. A 28- year-old woman...

Transverse and longitudinal dynamic modeling of bimorph piezoelectric actuators with investigating the effect of vibrational modes

  Bimorph piezoelectric cantilevered (BPC) actuators have recently received a great deal of attention in a variety of micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) applications. Dynamic modeling of such actuators needs to be improved in order to enhance the control performance. Previous works have usually taken transv...
