Abstract

The classical and relativistic Doppler shifts are compared for light incident at any angle upon a perfectly reflecting mirror moving in any arbitrary direction. It is shown that experiments designed to test the theory of special relativity in reflecting systems must be accurate up to third order in v/c.
