A physicist drives through a stop light. When he is pulled over, he tells the police officer that the Doppler shift made the red light of wavelength 650 nm appear green to him, with a wavelength of 520 nm. The police officer writes out a traffic citation for speeding. How fast was the physicist traveling, according to his own testimony?
Submarine A travels horizontally at 11.0 m/s through ocean water. It emits a sonar signal of frequency f = 5.27 103 Hz in the forward direction. Submarine B is in front of submarine A and traveling at 3.00 m/s relative to the water in the same direction as submarine A. A crewman in submarine B uses his equipment to detect the sound waves (pings) from submarine A. We wish to determine what is heard by the crewman in submarine B. (a) An observer on which submarine detects a frequency f as described by Equation 16.46? (b) In Equation 16.46, should the sign of vs be positive or negative? (c) In Equation 16.46, should the sign of vo be positive or negative? (d) In Equation 16.46, what speed of sound should be used? (e) Find the frequency of the sound detected by the crewman on submarine B.

A Doppler weather radar station broadcasts a pulse of radio waves at frequency 2.85 GHz. From a relatively small batch of raindrops at bearing 38.6 east of north, the station receives a reflected pulse after 180 s with a frequency shifted upward by 254 Hz. From a similar batch of raindrops at bearing 39.6 east of north, the station receives a reflected pulse after the same time delay, with a frequency shifted downward by 254 Hz. These pulses have the highest and lowest frequencies the station receives, (a) Calculate the radial velocity components of both batches of raindrops. (b) Assume that these raindrops are swirling in a uniformly rotating vortex. Find the angular speed of their rotation.
