A QUANTUM BASIS FOR THE RELATIVISTIC
DOPPLER EFFECT FOR LIGHT

In the first of two derivations of the relativistic 
Doppler effect, obtained without directly applying the Lorentz 
transformations, the principle of relativity is used to introduce 
a probabilistic frequency-squared term and, thus, macroscopic 
uncertainty into the classical Doppler equations. In the second 
derivation, the classical Doppler effect for a moving mirror is 
broadened when introduction of Planck's law for radiation from 
a light source includes high radiation frequencies and thus high 
electron velocities. These methods are suggested to more directly 
describe intrinsic probabilistic properties of electromagnetic 
radiation rather than measurement differences attributable 
to a moving frame of reference.

The article is published as a polemical one. 
According to comments of Professor L. M. Tomil'chik, corresponding 
member of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, the article 
does not contain any new relations and does not predict any physical 
effects which are absent in the standard approach, and therefore the 
article can be considered only as an original technique.
