According to the Doppler effect what appears to happen when a light source moves further away from an observer

schepotkina [342]3 years ago

Answer: Hello there!

When the source of light moves further away from the observer (or the observer moves further away from the light source), there is something called "redshift"

The observer sees the wavelength wider, which means that the frequency decreases. This phenomenon causes a shift in the color of the wave, which now looks more red.

Answer: The correct answer is B. "the electromagnetic waves appear more red in color".

Explanation:

Scientists use the Doppler effect to understand the universe by determining the motion of the object.

Red shift: The apparent frequency of light decreases as the source object in space moves away from us.  The light is shifted to red end. The apparent frequency decreases and there is increase in the wavelength of the light.

Blue shift: The apparent frequency of light increases as the object in space moves towards us. The light is shifted to blue end. In this case, there is decrease in the wavelength of the light.  The frequency of the wave increases.

In the given problem, when the light source moves further away from an observer, the electromagnetic waves appear red in color.

Therefore, the correct option is (B).

What is the magnification of a virtual image if the image is 60.0 cm from a
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

4cm

Explanation:

Magnification of the virtual image

= image distance / object distance

Given

Image distance = 60.0cm

Object distance = 15.0cm

Therefore,

Magnification = 60.0/15.0

= 4 cm

Suppose that a charged particle of diameter 1.00 micrometer moves with constant speed in an electric field of magnitude 1.00×105
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Q1 = 7.25*10^(-16) C 

Explanation:

We are given;

electric field strength = (1 x 10^5 N/C

drag force (F) = 7.25 x 10^(-11) N

The question says it's moving with constant velocity. This means that he particle is in equilibrium and not accelerating.

Columbs law force of attraction or repulsion between two charges is given as;

F=(KQ1Q2)/r²

Now, electric field strength is given as the formula;(K*Q2)/r², thus plugging the relevant values gives us;

7.25 x 10^(-11) N= (1 x 10^(5) N/C)Q1 Q1 = 7.25 x 10^(-11) /(1 x 10^(5))

Q1 = 7.25*10^(-16) C

How does a prism split white light into a rainbow?
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

DECOMPOSITION OF LIGHT:

Descartes explained the formation of the rainbow and years later Newton studied the light and managed to break it down into the colors of its spectrum through a prism year 1666.

Newton knew very little about the nature of light, did not know that it was a wave and even less that it was an electromagnetic wave. He believed that it was formed by corpuscles, but he managed to break it down into its spectral colors. Today we know that light is both particle and wave.

Humans (and some animals) appreciate a wide range of colors that are usually due to the mixture of radiation (lights) of different wavelengths. The color of light with a single wavelength or a narrow band of them is known as pure color.

When the light passes through a glass prism, the different wavelengths that make up the light beam travel inside it at different speeds and curl differently when entering and leaving (double refraction when changing media) giving as result a beam diverted from the initial direction and with its separate components. Thus arises the solar spectrum.

Each of the different rays of light crosses the glass with different velocity and the average speed of light within the prism is less than in a vacuum. Light is a wave with an oscillating electric field that interferes with the charged particles in matter.

The visible radiations are between the following wavelengths: from 350 nm (nanometers) for violet to 750 nm for red.

Two drag cars race. They line up at the starting line at rest. The winning car accelerates at a constant rate a and reaches the
Mila [183]

Answer:d=\frac{v^2}{8a}

Explanation:

Given

winning car accelerates with a and its final velocity is v

considering they both start from rest

time taken by winning car is

v=u+at

where u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

t=time

v=at

t=\frac{v}{a}

Now loosing car is accelerating with \frac{a}{4}

Distance traveled by loosing car in time t

s_1=ut+\frac{at^2}{2\cdot 4}

s_1=0+\frac{a}{8}\times (\frac{v}{a})^2

s_1=\frac{v^2}{8a}

Thus distance d traveled by loosing car is given by d=\frac{v^2}{8a}

A charged particle moving through a magnetic field at right angles to the field with a speed of 24.7 m/s experiences a magnetic
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

let the charge is q. velocity, v = 24.7 m/s

magnetic force, F = 2.38 x 10^-4 N

Let the magnetic field is B.

Velocity, v' = 5.64 m/s

angle, θ = 21.2°

The force experienced by a charged particle placed in a magnetic field is given by

F = q x v x B x Sinθ

in first case

2.38 x 10^-4 = q x 24.7 x B x Sin 90 .... (1)

in second case

F = q x 5.64 x B x Sin 21.2°      .... (2)

Divide equation (2) by equation (1), we get

\frac{F}{2.38\times 10^{-4}}=\frac{5.64\times Sin 21.2}{24.7\times Sin 90}

F = 1.97 x 10^-5 N
