Abstract
In 1960 it was realized that a small temperature-dependent shift in the energy of a Mössbauer gamma ray must exist. Pound and Rebka proposed that such a shift must exist because of the second-order Doppler effect while Josephson suggested that it would be due to mass change in the emitting nucleus. More recently it has been assumed that the two effects are the same, and a single shift has been subtracted from Mössbauer total-shift data in order to isolate the chemical shift. The present note derives this equivalence.
