JEE Main & Advanced Physics Wave Optics / तरंग प्रकाशिकी Question Bank Doppler's Effect of Light

  • question_answer
    A star moves away from earth at speed 0.8 c while emitting light of frequency\[6\times {{10}^{14}}Hz\]. What frequency will be observed on the earth (in units of 1014 Hz) (c = speed of light)                                       [MP PMT 1995]

    A)            0.24                                          

    B)            1.2

    C)            30  

    D)            3.3

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                       Observed frequency \[\nu '=\nu \left( 1-\frac{v}{c} \right)\]            \[\Rightarrow \nu '=6\times {{10}^{14}}\left( 1-\frac{0.8\ c}{c} \right)=1.2\times {{10}^{14}}Hz\]
