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

  • question_answer
    Due to Doppler's effect, the shift in wavelength observed is 0.1 Å for a star producing wavelength 6000 Å. Velocity of recession of the star will be

    A)            2.5 km/s                                 

    B)            10 km/s

    C)            5 km/s                                    

    D)            20 km/s

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               \[\frac{\Delta \lambda }{\lambda }=\frac{v}{c}\ \therefore v=\frac{\Delta \lambda }{\lambda }c=\frac{0.1}{6000}\times 3\times {{10}^{5}}km/s=5\ km/s\]
