Space probes communicate with controllers on Earth using radio waves. Suppose a probe has a radiotransmitter that operates at a frequency of 220.0 MHz when at rest relative to the observer. This probe is now wandering the solar system. The signal you pick up from the probe is shifted 2.275E+4 Hz lower in frequency than the rest frequency given above. How fast is the probe traveling and is it traveling towards or away from Earth? (assume it is either traveling...

Consider a spiral galaxy that is moving directly away from Earth with a speed V = 3.040×105 m/s at its center, as shown in the figure(Figure 1). The galaxy is also rotating about its center, so that points in its spiral arms are moving with a speed v = 6.650×105 m/s relative to the center. If light with a frequency of 8.213×1014 Hz is emitted in both arms of the galaxy, what frequency is detected by astronomers observing the arm...

Sam is on a spaceship that travels from Earth to Proxima Centauri at 70% the speed of light, or 0.7c, relative to Earth. Erma is an observer on Earth. From Sam's perspective, 1.35 x 108 seconds passed between when the Earth was near him and when Proxima Centauri is near him First we consider velocity and time: How fast in m/s is Sam moving as measured in the rest frame of the rocket? How fast in m/s is Erma moving...

Doppler Effect: 1. A stationary police officer using a speed “radar detector” sends a signal with a frequency of 100,000 Hz. The speed of sound is 340 m/s. What is the wavelength of the (ultra) sound wave produced by the detector? The sound wave reflects off a vehicle moving toward the officer. How does the frequency of the reflected sound wave (as recorded by the detector) compare to the original sound wave? 2. The light waves from a distance start...
