The rays which at the time belong to the interval and leave this interval in the time on account of reflection from the moving reflector, are simply those rays which strike the moving reflector in the time . For the change in color which such a ray undergoes is, from [eqn:(83)] (83) and [eqn:(91)] (91), large compared with , the width of the whole interval. Hence we need only calculate the energy, which in the time is transmitted to the reflector by the rays in the interval .
For an elementary pencil, which falls on the element of the
reflecting surface at the angle of incidence , this energy is, according to [eqn:(88)] (88) and [eqn:(5)] (5), Hence we obtain for the total monochromatic radiation, which falls on the whole surface of the reflector, by integration with respect to from to , with respect to from to , and with respect to from to , Thus this radiant energy leaves, in the time , the interval of frequencies considered.
