An observer is moving with half the speed of light towards a stationary microwave source emitting waves at frequency \(10\ GHz\). What is the frequency of the microwave measured by the observer?.......\(GHz\) ( speed of light \(= 3 \times 10^8 \) \(ms^{-1}\))
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(17.3\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Use relativistic doppler's effect as velocity of observer is not small as compared to light
\(f=f_{0} \sqrt{\frac{c+v}{c+v}}\) ; \(V=\) relative speed of approach
\(f_{0}=10\, \mathrm{GHz}\)
\(\therefore f=10 \sqrt{\frac{c+\frac{c}{2}}{c-\frac{c}{2}}}=10 \sqrt{3}=17.3\, \mathrm{GHz}\)
