I wanted to make this important remark here, but it is not simple: with Doppler effect, medium of propagation does not move with respect to the observer ... I must think to make the warning in the main text, and a summary of all this in for example a parallel 1: I wanted to make this important remark here, but it is not simple: with Doppler effect, medium of propagation does not move with respect to the observer ...
