Summary

Description
English: Plot of 10 light rays that in the frame of the source (beta=v/c=0) have all the same wavelength and are equally distributed in angle, but they become more and more shifted into the forward direction as the source velocity increases to beta=0.9, 0.99, and finally 0.999. The change in colour of the rays shows qualitatively how the wavelengths are also Doppler shifted.

Light from a relativistic source becomes more directed and blue-shifted in the direction of motion with increasing velocity (beta=v/c).
