We can solve the problem by using the first law of thermodynamics:
where
is the change in internal energy of the system
is the heat absorbed by the system
is the work done by the system on the surrounding
In this problem, the work done by the system is
with a negative sign because the work is done by the surrounding on the system, while the heat absorbed is
with a negative sign as well because it is released by the system.
Therefore, by using the initial equation, we find
Answer:
The doppler effect equation is:
In the equation we have frequencies, but then we have the wavelengths of the lights, remember the relation:
v = f*λ
then:
f = v/λ
and v is the speed of light, then:
f = c/λ
where:
f' is the observed frequency, in this case, is equal to f = (3*10^17nm/s)/550 nm
f is the real frequency, in this case, is (3*10^17nm/s)/650 nm
vs is the speed of the source, in this case, the source is not moving, then vs = 0 m/s.
v is the speed of the wave, in this case, is equal to the speed of light, v = 3*10^8 m/s
v0 is your speed, this is what we want to find.
Replacing those quantities in the equation, we get:
(3*10^17nm/s)/550 = (3*10^8 m/s + v0)/(3*10^8 m/s)*(3*10^17nm/s)/650 nm
(650nm)/(550nm) = (3*10^8 m/s + v0)/(3*10^8 m/s)
1.182*(3*10^8 m/s) = (3*10^8 m/s + v0)
1.182*(3*10^8 m/s) - (3*10^8 m/s) = v0 = 54,600,000 m/s
So your speed was 54,600,000 m/s, which is a lot.
