The below image shows the changing frequency, and therefore, wavelengths for light from a distant source. The image on the left shows the normal laboratory values of light absorbed from the spectrum. The image on the right shows a distant object in motion. What is the behavior of the object? O The light is red shifted and the object is moving away from Earth. O The light is blue shifted and the object is moving towards Earth. O The light is blue shifted and the object is moving away from Earth. O The light is redshifted and the object is moving towards Earth.

Helium-neon lasers emit a red laser light commonly used in supermarket checkout scanners. A helium-neon laser operates at a wavelength of precisely 632.9924 nm when the spacing between the mirrors is 310.372 mm. a. In which mode does this laser operate?b. What is the next longest wavelength that could form a standing wave in this laser cavity?
In a physics lab, light with wavelength 490 nm travels in air from a laser to a photocell in 17.0 ns. When a slab of glass 0.840 m thick is placed in the light beam, with the beam incident along the normal to the parallel faces of the slab, it takes the light 21.2 ns to travel from the laser to the photocell. (a) Draw a sketch of the situation. (b) What is the wavelength of the light in the glass? Hint: determine nglass first. Answer: 196 nm

The acoustical system shown in the figure below is driven by a speaker emitting sound of frequency 730 Hz. (Use v = 343 m/s.) If constructive interference occurs at a particular instant, by what minimum amount should the path length in the upper U-shaped tube be increased so that destructive interference occurs instead?m (b) What minimum increase in the original length of the upper tube will again result in constructive interference?
Two loudspeakers are placed above and below each other, as in the figure below, and driven by the same source at a frequency of 4.40 ✕ 102 Hz. An observer is in front of the speakers (to the right) at point O, at the same distance from each speaker. What minimum vertical distance upward should the top speaker be moved to create destructive interference at point O? (Let h = 2.58 m and use v = 343 m/s.)
S1 and S2 in the figure below are effective point sources of radiation, excited by the same oscillator. They are coherent and in phase with eachother.
