The measurement relies on the Doppler effect, in which rad iation is shiftedin frequency when the source is moving towards or away from the observer. When a star emitting electromagnetic radiation of frequency v moves with a speed s relative to an observer, the observer detects radiation of f requency vreceding, = vf or vapproaching = v/f, where f = {(1 - s/c)/(1 + s/c)}1/2 and c is the speed of light.
