Kip Thorne (4:56): "If you move toward the source [of light], you see the wavelength shortened, but you don't see the speed changed." https://youtu.be/mvdlN4H4T54?t=296

"The wavelength shortened" is an idiotic fudge factor in the interpretation of the Doppler effect that saves Einstein's relativity. Here the initially stationary receiver (observer) starts moving towards the light source with speed v:

If you are an Einsteinian and wish most of all the speed of the light pulses relative to the receiver to remain unchanged, you should idiotically believe that the motion of the receiver changes the distance between incoming pulses - from d to d'=dc/(c+v). Equally idiotically, the motion of the receiver changes the wavelength of the incoming light - from λ to λ'=λc/(c+v).

Needless to say, the motion of the receiver (observer) CANNOT change the wavelength of the incoming light. The fudge factor is too idiotic, even for the standards of Einstein's schizophrenic world, so it is kept hidden in Einstein's "theory" - Einsteinians don't discuss it explicitly. Here are exceptions (these Einsteinians are particularly deranged and teach that the motion of the observer changes the wavelength even in the case of sound waves):

Professor Martin White, UC Berkeley: "...the sound waves have a fixed wavelength (distance between two crests or two troughs) only if you're not moving relative to the source of the sound. If you are moving away from the source (or equivalently it is receding from you) then each crest will take a little longer to reach you, and so you'll perceive a longer wavelength. Similarly if you're approaching the source, then you'll be meeting each crest a little earlier, and so you'll perceive a shorter wavelength. [...] The same principle applies for light as well as for sound. In detail the amount of shift depends a little differently on the speed, since we have to do the calculation in the context of special relativity. But in general it's just the same: if you're approaching a light source you see shorter wavelengths (a blue-shift), while if you're moving away you see longer wavelengths (a red-shift)." http://w.astro.berkeley.edu/~mwhite/...plershift.html

John Norton: "Every sound or light wave has a particular frequency and wavelength. In sound, they determine the pitch; in light they determine the color. Here's a light wave and an observer. If the observer were to hurry towards the source of the light, the observer would now pass wavecrests more frequently than the resting observer. That would mean that moving observer would find the frequency of the light to have increased (and correspondingly for the wavelength - the distance between crests - to have decreased)." http://www.pitt.edu/~jdnorton/teachi...ved/index.html
