Radiated and reflected Doppler effects

Abstract

Till now was known only one Doppler effect. In the article, we have named it classical. By the exact solution of correct mathematical problems with initial and boundary conditions which in mathematics are named as Cauchy’s problems adequate to physical processes which are described by Maxwell’s equations forming system of the partial differential equations of hyperbolic type of the problems of mathematical physics, existence of two Doppler effect was discovered. They differ from each other quantitatively and on physical sense. Classical Doppler effect, according to its physical sense, we have named radiated Doppler effect. Other effect, earlier completely unknown, according to physical sense, we have named reflected Doppler effect. The second new physical phenomenon derived as a result of research in this article, we have named deviation of radiated (classical) Doppler effect. The sense of opening is that the quantitative value of radiated Doppler effect measured by the receiver depends on an angle between the direction of a radiator movement and the direction from a radiator to the receiver. Existence of this effect is known to physics long ago. However, strictly reasonable mathematical model is offered for the first time.
