Abstract
It has recently been shown theoretically that correlations between fluctuations of the source distribution at different source points can produce red shifts or blue shifts of emitted spectral lines. To facilitate experimental demonstration of this effect a simple example is analyzed. It involves only two small appropriately correlated sources and brings out the essential physical features of this new phenomenon.Keywords
