A physicist drives through a stop light. When he is pulled over, he tells the police officer that the Doppler shift made the red

light of wavelength 660 nm appear green to him, with a wavelength of 555 nm. The police officer writes out a traffic citation for speeding. How fast was the physicist traveling, according to his own testimony?

Answer:

Speed of physicist car is 0.036c or 1.08 x 10⁷ m/s .

Explanation:

Doppler Effect is defined as the change in frequency or wavelength of the wave as the source or/and observer moving away or towards each other.

In this case, the Doppler effect equation in terms of wavelength is :

\lambda_{s} = \lambda_{o}\sqrt{\frac{1-\frac{v}{c} }{1+\frac{v}{c} } }       ......(1)

Here \lambda_{s} is source wavelength, \lambda_{o} is observed wavelength, v is speed of the observer and c is the speed of light.

Given :

Source wavelength, \lambda_{s} = 660 nm = 660 x 10⁻⁹ m

Observed wavelength, \lambda_{0} = 555 nm = 555 x 10⁻⁹ m

Substitute these values in the equation (1).

555\times10^{-9} } = 660\times10^{-9} \sqrt{\frac{1-\frac{v}{c} }{1+\frac{v}{c} } }

\sqrt{\frac{1-\frac{v}{c} }{1+\frac{v}{c} } } = 0.84

{\frac{1-\frac{v}{c} }{1+\frac{v}{c} } } = (0.84)^{2} = 0.7056

1-\frac{v}{c}=0.7056+0.7056\frac{v}{c}

\frac{v}{c}=\frac{0.2944}{8.056}

v = 0.036c=0.036\times3\times10^{8}

v = 1.08 x 10⁷ m/s

Q1. I don't have information on her situation, but an EMR is a medical record that is stored digitally in a secure computer database within an organization or healthcare system. This system allows electronic storage, retrieval, and modification of medical records, and is an alternative to traditional, paper medical records.

Q2. Their food proportions, do they eat every meal, do they eat their vegetables, fruits grains, protein, etc. Check for healthy and unhealthy habits of eating and exercise.  Additional notes on medical problems relating to food concerns you may have to look further into based on her answers.

Q3. The info isn't provided,  but what I do know is that detection requires awareness of risk factors for, and symptoms and signs of, anorexia nervosa (e.g., participation in activities valuing thinness, family history of an eating disorder, amenorrhea, lanugo hair) and bulimia nervosa (e.g., unsuccessful attempts at weight loss, history of childhood sexual abuse, family history of depression, erosion of tooth enamel from vomiting, parotid gland swelling, and gastroesophageal reflux). Providers must also remain alert for disordered eating in female athletes (the female athlete triad) and disordered eating in diabetics. Treatment requires a multidisciplinary team including a primary care practitioner, nutritionist, and mental health professional. The role of the primary care practitioner is to help determine the need for hospitalization and to manage medical complications (e.g., arrhythmias, refeeding syndrome, osteoporosis, and electrolyte abnormalities such as hypokalemia).

I'm sorry I cannot answer all your questions because there's a typing limit. :)

Thank you for your patience, and I hope I helped!

Would appreciate Brainliest ;)
