    In the context of Doppler effect in light, the term red shift signifies

    A)  decrease in frequency

    B)  increase in frequency

    C)  decrease in intensity

    D)  increase in intensity

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Wavelength range from violet to red is \[4000\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,-7800\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\] If there is red shift it means that \[\lambda \] (wavelength) is increasing. So, by \[v=\frac{c}{\lambda }\] frequency will decrease.
