Doppler effect for light differs from that for sound in regards that :

  • the relative frequency shift is smaller for light than for soun
  • the velocity addition valid for sound is not true for light waves.
  • velocity of light is very large as compared to soun
  • light waves are electromagnetic waves but sound waves are mechanical.
