Abstract
This paper shows that calculation and interpretation of the relativistic Doppler effect is possible using only the Lorentz force law and the relativity principle, without explicitly using the Lorentz transformation and dealing with the various contradictions involved. This approach ends the role of Lorentz transformation in the relativistic Doppler effect. Using on this approach, one can also find an intrinsic energy of a particle, which allows us to reconstruct the compatibility between the framework of de Broglie wave theory and SRT without the usual contradictions.
