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

  • question_answer
    A star emitting light of wavelength\[5896\,\,{AA}\]is moving away from the earth with a speed of 3600 km / sec. The wavelength of light observed on earth will [MP PET 1995, 2002]

    A) Decrease by\[5825.25\,\,{AA}\]

    B) Increase by\[5966.75\,\,{AA}\]

    C) Decrease by\[70.75\,\,{AA}\]

    D) Increase by \[70.75\,\,{AA}\] (\[c=3\times {{10}^{8}}m/\sec \]is the speed of light)

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[\Delta \lambda =\frac{\nu }{c}\lambda \]\[=\frac{3600\times {{10}^{3}}}{3\times {{10}^{8}}}\times 5896=70.75{AA}\]            So the increased wavelength of light is observed.
