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

  • question_answer
    A light source approaches the observer with velocity 0.8 c. The doppler shift for the light of wavelength \[5500\,{AA}\] is  [MP PET 1996]

    A) \[4400\,\,{AA}\]               

    B) \[1833\,\,{AA}\]

    C) \[3167\,\,{AA}\]

    D) \[7333\,\,{AA}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    According to Doppler's principle \[\lambda '=\lambda \sqrt{\frac{1-v/c}{1+v/c}}\]for v = c                    \[\lambda '=5500\sqrt{\frac{(1-0.8)}{1+0.8}}=1833.3\]            \[\therefore \]Shift\[=55001833.3=3167\,\,{AA}\]
