Chapter 37: 35P (page 1147)

A spaceship, moving away from Earth at a speed of 0.900c, reports back by transmitting at a frequency (measured in the spaceship frame) of 100 MHz. To what frequency must Earth receivers be tuned to receive the report?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The tuning frequency to receive the report on Earth is 22.9 MHz.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

The proper frequency in spaceship frame is fo=100MHz

The speed of spaceship away from earth is v=0.900c

The variation in the frequency of light occurs due to relative movement of source and observer in different frames. It is calculated by the formula for frequency variation.

02

Determination of tuning frequency to receive the report on Earth

The tuning frequency to receive the report on Earth is given as:

f=fo1-vc1+vc

Here, c is the speed of light.

Substitute all the values in the above equation.

f=100MHz1-0.900cc1+0.900ccf=22.9MHz

Therefore, the tuning frequency to receive the report on Earth is 22.9 MHz.

How much work must be done to increase the speed of an electron (a) from 0.18c to 0.19c and (b) from 0.98c to 0.99c? Note that the speed increase is 0.01c in both cases.

A sodium light source moves in a horizontal circle at a constant speed of 0.100c while emitting light at the proper wavelength of 位o=589nm. Wavelength 位is measured for that light by a detector fixed at the center of the circle. What is the wavelength shift 位-位o?

Question:Quasars are thought to be the nuclei of active galaxies in the early stages of their formation. A typical quasar radiates energy at the rate of 1041. At what rate is the mass of this quasar being reduced to supply this energy? Express your answer in solar mass units per year, where one solar mass unit (1smu=2.0脳1030kg) is the mass of our Sun.

Figure 37-20 shows the triangle of Fig 37-14 for six particles; the slanted lines 2 and 4 have the same length. Rank the particles according to (a) mass, (b) momentum magnitude, and (c) Lorentz factor, greatest first. (d) Identify which two particles have the same total energy. (e) Rank the three lowest-mass particles according to kinetic energy, greatest first.

The center of our Milky Way galaxy is about 23000ly away. (a) To eight significant figures, at what constant speed parameter would you need to travel exactly (measured in the Galaxy frame) in exactly 23000ly (measured in your frame)? (b) Measured in your frame and in light-years, what length of the Galaxy would pass by you during the trip?
