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

  • question_answer
    The apparent wavelength of the light from a star moving away from the earth is 0.01% more than its real wavelength. Then the velocity of star is                                                    [CPMT 1979]

    A)            60 km/sec                              

    B)            15 km/sec

    C)            150 km/sec                           

    D)            30 km/sec

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                       \[\frac{\Delta \lambda }{\lambda }=\frac{v}{c}\Rightarrow v=\frac{c}{\lambda }\Delta \lambda =\frac{c}{\lambda }(\lambda '-\lambda )=c\times \frac{0.01}{100}\]            \[=3\times {{10}^{4}}m/s=30\ km/\sec \]
