Development of the equations for the relativistic Doppler Effect and aberration of light (not to be confused with chromatic aberration on your graphics settings menu). Quick comment: I use k nought in the audio to refer to the wavevector magnitude in the R reference frame. What I actually mean is that k is the wavevector magnitude in R while k' is the magnitude in R'.

Questions/requests? Let me know in the comments!
