yes i realize the principle of the doppler shift is the fact that the emitter is traveling and thus emits a new wave after having traveled some distance into the preceding wave's wavelength. As a result, the wave is 'truncated' and perceived to be shorter (in the case of the emitter traveling in the direction of the wave)
but suppose the wave frequency is low - e.g. - .01 hz.
and the wave speed is 100 m/s
and the emitter is traveling at 1 m/s
the emitter will produce a wave every hundred seconds.
every time a wave is generated it will constructively interfere with the preceding wave exactly. no frequency shift should be perceived, just an amplitude increase.
however, at speeds below and above 1 m/s, can it be said that the emitter will generate waves that will result in a doppler shift?
