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 car ends up at x = -245 m after a displacement of -103 m. what was its initial position?
AysviL [449]

Answer:

-142m

Explanation:

To find the initial position of the car, we can add the displacement.

-245 + 103 = -142

A very long, solid insulating cylinder has radius R; bored along its entire length is a cylindrical hole with radius a. The axis
lawyer [7]

Answer:

The value of the electric field is E_{net} = \dfrac{r \textbf{b}}{2\epsilon_{0}}

Explanation:

We know that the electric field inside a solid cylinder at a distance \textbf{r} from the centre is given by

E = \dfrac{\rho \textbf{r}}{2 \epsilon_{0}}

Let's consider the cross-section of the cylinder as shown in the figure. Let `O' be the centre of the long solid insulating cylinder having radius 'R'. Also consider that O' be the cetre of the hole of radius 'a' situated at a distance 'b' from 'O'. Given, the volume charge density of the material is 'r'. So, the volume charge density inside the hole will be '-r'. Let's consider 'P' be any arbitrary point inside the hole situated at a distance 's' from O'.

So, the electric field 'E_{O}' due to the long cylinder at point 'P' is given by

E_{O} = \dfrac{r \textbf{c}}{2 \epsilon_{0}}

and the electric field 'E_{O'}'due to the hole at point 'P' is given by

E_{O'} = \dfrac{\rho \textbf{s}}{2 \epsilon_{0}}

So the net electric field (E_{net}) inside the hole is given by

E_{net} = E_{O} - E_{O'} = \dfrac{r}{2\epsilon_{0}}(\textbf{c - s}) = \dfrac{r \textbf{b}}{2\epsilon_{0}}

If you shout into the grand canyon, your voice travels at the speed of sound (340 m/s) to the bottom of the canyon and back, and
Nostrana [21]
Given:
The speed of sound is  340 m/s
Time for the echo is 5.2 s.

Let h = the depth of the canyon.

Because the sound of your voice travels to the bottom of the canyon and back to your ear, the total distance traveled is 2h.

By definition,
distance = velocity * time.
Therefore
2h = (340 m/s)*(5.2 s) = 1768 m
h = 884 m

Answer: The depth is 884 m.
