PROBLEM: A version of spectroscopy that is free of one form of this effect uses a standing wave to give radiation to a moving atom and is named for its two-photon transition. Due to this effect, atoms observe laser resonance leading to the phenomenon of optical molasses at its namesake cooling limit. Mossbauer spectroscopy uses this effect to modulate the energy of the incident gamma rays. An experiment that used a canal ray tube and a mirror to view light emissions was used to detect the transverse form of this effect, while its relativistic form involves changes equal to the square root of one plus beta over one minus beta. For 10 points, name this shift in the wavelength from a moving source that can be heard by an observer.

SOLUTION: Science

PROBLEM: After he lost a gubernatorial election to Pat Brown, this man told reporters they wouldn't have him to "kick around anymore." His presidency saw the establishment of the Environmental Protection Agency, and he was elevated to national prominence by his role in the Alger Hiss case. His Secretary of State (*) Henry Kissinger initiated Detente (day-TAHNT) and he signed the Anti-Ballistic Missile and first SALT treaties with the Soviet Union. His visit to the People's Republic of China opened diplomatic relations between it and the United States.
