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

  • question_answer
    A rocket is moving away from the earth at a speed of\[6\times {{10}^{7}}m/s\]. The rocket has blue light in it. What will be the wavelength of light recorded by an observer on the earth (wavelength of blue light = \[4600\,{AA}\] )

    A) \[4600\,\,{AA}\]

    B) \[5520\,\,{AA}\]

    C) \[3680\,\,{AA}\]

    D) \[3920\,\,{AA}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\frac{\Delta \lambda }{\lambda }=\frac{v}{c}=\frac{6\times {{10}^{7}}}{3\times {{10}^{8}}}=0.2\]            \[\Delta \lambda =\lambda '-\lambda =0.2\lambda \Rightarrow \lambda '=1.2\lambda =1.2\times 4600=5520{AA}\]
