First you find the frequency which is. 1/T(period) so u get 1*10^10
Now that you know frequency u can solve for speed: s= wavelength* frequency, but don't forget to convert 3cm into meters: 3/100= .03m so now you do (1*10^10)(.3)= 300,000,000 m/s or 3*10^8 m/s
Hope this helped :))
Answer:
Explanation:
Wavelength is one way of measuring the size of waves. ... The wavelength of a transverse wave can be measured as the distance between two adjacent crests. The wavelength of a longitudinal wave can be measured as the distance between two adjacent compressions.Feb 19, 2021
Answer: V = 15 m/s
Explanation:
As stationary speed gun emits a microwave beam at 2.10*10^10Hz. It reflects off a car and returns 1030 Hz higher. The observed frequency the car will be experiencing will be addition of the two frequency. That is,
F = 2.1 × 10^10 + 1030 = 2.100000103×10^10Hz
Using doppler effect formula
F = C/ ( C - V) × f
Where
F = observed frequency
f = source frequency
C = speed of light = 3×10^8
V = speed of the car
Substitute all the parameters into the formula
2.100000103×10^10 = 3×10^8/(3×10^8 -V) × 2.1×10^10
2.100000103×10^10/2.1×10^10 = 3×108/(3×10^8 - V)
1.000000049 = 3×10^8/(3×10^8 - V)
Cross multiply
300000014.7 - 1.000000049V = 3×10^8
Collect the like terms
1.000000049V = 14.71429
Make V the subject of formula
V = 14.71429/1.000000049
V = 14.7 m/s
The speed of the car is 15 m/s approximately.
