Doppler Effect for Light
PHXII10:WAVE OPTICS

367734 A galaxy is moving away from the Earth so that a spectral line at 600 nm is observed at 601 nm . Then the speed of the galaxy with respect to the Earth is

1 \({500 {~km} {~s}^{-1}}\)
2 \({50 {~km} {~s}^{-1}}\)
3 \({200 {~km} {~s}^{-1}}\)
4 \({20 {~km} {~s}^{-1}}\)

367735 Light emitted from a distant stationary star is observed at frequency 5000 \(MHz\). If the star starts approaching us with speed \(9 \times {10^5}m{\rm{/}}s\) then the observed frequency will be

1 \(5025MHz\)
2 \(5015MHz\)
3 \(5005MHz\)
4 \(5000MHz\)
PHXII10:WAVE OPTICS

367736 Assertion :
In everyday life the Doppler's effect is observed readily for sound waves than light waves.
Reason :
Velocity of light is greater than that of sound.

1 Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.
2 Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.
3 Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
4 Assertion is incorrect but reason is correct.
PHXII10:WAVE OPTICS

367737 It is believed that the universe is expanding and hence the distant stars are receding from us. Light from such a star will show

1 Shift in frequency towards shorter wavelengths
2 Shift in frequency towards longer wavelengths
3 A shift in frequency sometimes towards longer and sometimes towards shorter wavelengths
4 No shift in frequency but a decrease in intensity

367738 The \(6563\mathop A\limits^ \circ {H_ \propto }\) sign line emitted by hydrogen in a star is found to be red-shifted by \(15\mathop A\limits^ \circ \). Estimate the speed with the star receding from the earth.

1 \(8.9 \times {10^5}{\rm{ }}m{\rm{/}}s\) receding the earth
2 \(7.9 \times {10^5}{\rm{ }}m{\rm{/}}s\) receding the earth
