Imagine that a spacecraft has landed on Mercury and is transmitting radio signals to Earth at a wavelength of 10.000 cm. When Mercury is seen from Earth in the evening sky, at its greatest angular distance east of the Sun, it is moving toward Earth at its maximum possible relative speed of 47.9 km/s. To what wavelength must you tune your radio telescope to detect the signals? (Hint: Use the Doppler formula in Reasoning with Numbers 6-2.)
Sound waves of 675 ?? travel at a speed of 345 ?/? through a doorway in a soundproof wall.If the doorway is 1.5 ? wide, how many “quiet spots” (locations where no sound is heard”) will there be along a line parallel to the wall? What will be the angular location of these quiet spots?
1. How many waves, each 250 nanometers long, would fit along a 4 -centimeter line?
The 305-m-diameter Arecibo radio telescope pictured in Figure 4.20 detects radio waves with a 4.00-cm average wavelength. (a) What is the angle between two just-resolvable point sources for this telescope? (b) How close together could these point sources be at the 2 million light-year distance of the Andromeda Galaxy? Figure 4.20 A 305-m-diameter paraboloid at Arecibo in Puerto Rico is lined with reflective material, making it into a radio telescope. It is the largest curved focusing dish in the world. Although D for Arecibo is much larger than for the Hubble Telescope, it detects radiation of a much longer wavelength and its diffraction limit is significantly poorer than Hubble’s. The Arecibo telescope is still very useful, because important information is carried by radio waves that is not carried by visible light. (credit: Jeff Hitchcock)
When two waves interfere constructively or destructively, is there any gain or loss in energy in the system of the waves? Explain.
How do wave effects depend on the size of the object with which the wave interacts? For example, why does sound bend around the corner of a building while does not?
How would i draw the waves passing through the water and into the eye? How would I fill out the cause and effect and mechanism’s?
1. Is the Doppler shift real or just a sensory illusion? Explain your answer.
Several ducks are floating on a lake on a windy day. The ducks bob up and down everytwo seconds as a result of the waves. Whenever one particular duck moves up, it can seeanother duck ten meters away moving down. What is the speed of the waves?
Say you observe a light source which you know emits light with a wavelength of 650nm, but when you study the light coming from the distant object, you measure the light to have a wavelength of 652nm. What can you say about the object?
32If 100 waves pass through a mediumin 20seconds and their wavelength is 6cm then velocity is
A constellation of radar satellites in LEO orbit is being used to monitor the open ocean. The system collects two SAR images of the same area separated by a few hours in time. In the first image, the ocean appears dark, but in the second it appears brighter. What is the most likely cause of this difference? A. An oil spill occurred between the images, making the water more smooth. B. The wind speed increased between the images, causing waves to form on the ocean surface. C. The first image was collected at an oblique angle, while the second was taken looking straight down (a nadir view). D. The collection geometry changed between images resulting in a Doppler shift of the signal intensity.
