- If a galaxy moving away from the Earth has a speed of 1000 km/s and emits 656 nm light characteristic of hydrogen (the most common element in the universe). (a) What wavelength would we observe on the Earth? (b) What type of electromagnetic radiation is this? (c) Why is the speed of the Earth in its orbit negligible here?arrow_forwardA highway patrol officer uses a device that measures the speed of vehicles by bouncing radar off them and measuring the Doppler shift. The outgoing radar has a frequency of 100 GHz and the returning echo has a frequency 15.0 kHz higher. What is the velocity of the vehicle? Note that there are two Doppler shifts in echoes. Be certain not to round off until the end of the problem, because the effect is small.arrow_forwardIs visible light the only type of EM radiation that can cause the photoelectric effect?arrow_forward

A) calculate the frequency of the electromagnetic radiation B) if the neon was located 25 m from the observer , how long would it take the light from the neon sign to reach the observer ?arrow_forwardOne of the wavelengths of light emitted by hydrogen atoms under normal laboratory conditions is 656 nm, in the red portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. In the light emitted from a distant galaxy, this spectral line is observed to be Doppler-shifted to 953 nm, in the infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. How fast are the emitting atoms moving relative to the earth? Are they approaching the earth or receding from it?arrow_forward1. An object is moving a speed 8c/10, where c is the speed of light.

- Baseball scouts often use a radar gun to measure the speed ofa pitch. One particular model of radar gun emits a microwavesignal at a frequency of 10.525 GHz. What will be the increase infrequency if these waves are reflected from a 95.0@mi>h fastballheaded straight toward the gun? (Note: 1 mi>h = 0.447 m>s)arrow_forwardProblem 11: Slick Willy is in traffic court (again) contesting a $50.00 ticket for running a red light. “You see, your Honor, as I was approaching the light, it appeared yellow to me because of the Doppler effect. The red light from the traffic signal was shifted up in frequency because I was traveling towards it, just like the pitch of an approaching car rises as it approaches you.” Calculate how fast Slick Willy must have been driving, in meters per second, to observe the red light (wavelength of 685 nm) as yellow (wavelength of 580 nm). (Treat the traffic light as stationary, and assume the Doppler shift formula for sound works for light as well.)Numeric : A numeric value is expected and not an expression.v = __________________________________________ Problem 12: Two eagles fly directly toward one another, the first at 14.5 m/s and the second at 19.5 m/s.

The distance to the Moon is calculated from the round-trip time. (a) To what accuracy in meters can the distance to the Moon be determined, if this time can be measured to 0.100 ns? (b) What percent accuracy is this, given the average distance to the Moon is 3.84108m ?arrow_forwardAll galaxies farther away than about 50106ly exhibit a red shift in their emitted light that is proportional to distance, with those father and farther away having progressively greater red shifts. What does this imply, assuming that the only source of red shift is relative motion? (Hint: At these large distances, it is space itself that is expanding, but the effect on light is the same.)arrow_forward
