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

  • question_answer
    Light coming from a star is observed to have a wavelength of 3737 Å, while its real wavelength is 3700 Å. The speed of the star relative to the earth is [Speed of light \[3\times {{10}^{8}}m/s\]] [MP PET 1997]

    A)            \[3\times {{10}^{5}}m/s\]      

    B)            \[3\times {{10}^{6}}m/s\]

    C)            \[3.7\times {{10}^{7}}m/s\]  

    D)            \[3.7\times {{10}^{6}}m/s\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                       \[\Delta \lambda =\lambda \frac{v}{c}\]            \[\Rightarrow (3737-3700)=3700\times \frac{v}{3\times {{10}^{8}}}\Rightarrow v=3\times {{10}^{6}}m/s\]
