Scientific paper

It is normally stated that classical physics does not predict a transverse Doppler effect. We show that classical physics predicts two types of Doppler effects, one when the speed of light is c with respect to the inertial frame co-moving with the source and the other when the speed of light is c with respect to the inertial frame co-moving with the receptor. Classical physics does predict a transverse Doppler effect when the speed of light is c with respect to the inertial frame co-moving with the source. In both longitudinal and transverse cases, we show that the Doppler effect predicted by relativity theory is the geometric mean of the two predictions of the classical theory.
