The Doppler effect is the apparent change in frequency due to the movement of the source and the observer. This means an object

making sound moving towards you will appear to have a higher pitch and an object making sound moving away from you will appear to have a lower pitch. This concept also applies to light. How?

Answer:

Doppler effect changes the wavelength of the light emitted, depending upon whether source is moving away or coming towards the observer(detector).

Explanation:

Doppler effect in light is actually a relativistic effect but somewhat similar to the one which happens in sound waves.

When the source is moving away from the detector, the wavelength of the light emitted from the source appears to be increased as seen by the detector, as a result the frequency decreases(we know that frequency of light= speed of light/wavelength of light. Here speed of light is constant and frequency of light is inversely proportional to its wavelength)

Due to this decrease in frequency the light emitted from the source appears more red, since red color is on low frequency side in the electromagnetic spectrum.

Similarly for the source moving towards the detector, the wavelength appears to be decreased, thereby resulting in increase in frequency and the source appears blue. The shift in frequency is known as doppler shift.

The shift in frequency when the source is moving away is known as redshift and the one where the source is moving towards detector is known as blueshift

A unit of time sometimes used in microscopic physics is the "shake". One shake equals 10−8 s.
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

(a) There are 3.17 times more shakes in a second than seconds in a year.

(b) Humans have existed for 9067.72 universe seconds.

Explanation:

(a) First we calcule how many seconds are in a year. One year have 365 days, one day has 24 hours, one hour has 60 minutes and one minute has 60 seconds, so:

60s*60*24*365=3.1536*10^7s

Now, we calculate how many shakes are in a second:

1s*\frac{1shake}{10^{-8}s}=10^8shakes

Finally, we calculate how many more shakes in a second are there than seconds in a year:

\frac{10^8s}{3.1536*10^7s}=3.17

(b) Using a simple rule of three we can calculate  how many "universe seconds" have humans existed, recall that 1 day has 86400 seconds:

1010 years--------->86400s

106 years----------> x seconds

x=\frac{106y*86400s}{1010y}=9067.72s

A pipe of length 6.8 m is closed at one end and sustains a standing wave at its second overtone. determine the distance between
r-ruslan [8.4K]
For a pipe closed at one end, the second overtone is the 3rd natural frequency as shown in the diagram.

For the fundamental frequency,
λ = 4L
where
λ = wavelength
L = the length of the tube

For the second overtone (3rd frequency)
λ = (4/3)L

Because L = 6.8 m, therefore
λ = (4/3)*(6.8 m) = 9.0667 m

The distance between a node and an adjacent antinode is λ/2, which is
9.0667/2 = 4.533 m

Answer: 4.5 m

If you shine a light of frequency 375hz on a double slit setup , and you measure the slit separation to be 950 nm and the screen
amm1812

Answer:

y = 33.93 10⁵ m

Explanation:

This is an interference exercise, for the contributory interference is described by the expression

           d sin θ = m λ

let's use trigonometry for the angle

           tan θ = y / L

how the angles are small

          tan θ = sin θ / cos tea = sin θ

 

we substitute

         sin θ = y / L

        d y / L = m λ

         y = m λ L / d

the light fulfills the relation of the waves

       c = λ f

       λ = c / f

       λ = 3 10⁸ /375

       λ = 8 10⁵ m

first order m = 1

let's calculate

        y = 1  8 10⁵  4030 10-9 / 950 10-9

        y = 33.93 10⁵ m
