Abstract :
The Doppler shift is derived for light incident at any angle upon a perfectly reflecting mirror moving in any arbitrary direction. The resulting equations confirm that there should be no Doppler shift for light reflected from a transversely moving mirror. This result disproves several previous theoretical predictions.
