Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What is the formula for the Doppler Effect when the observer is moving towards a stationary source?

  • f' = f_s (v + v_O) / v
  • f' = f_s (v - v_O) / v
  • f' = f_s v / (v - v_S)

💡 Hint: Consider the observer's speed and how it impacts the observed pitch.

Question 2

True or False: Redshift occurs when a celestial object is moving toward an observer.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about the color changes and how they might relate to distance.

Question 1

A ship is sailing towards the coast at 15 m/s, and it uses a horn that emits a sound of 300 Hz. Calculate the frequency heard by a person standing on the shore assuming the speed of sound in air is 340 m/s.

💡 Hint: Make sure to apply the correct values in the formula carefully.

Question 2

A distant galaxy is moving away from the Earth at a speed of 3000 km/s. If the emitted light wavelength is 600 nm, calculate the observed wavelength using the formula Δλ/λ = v_r/c.

💡 Hint: Convert the velocity into the same units as the speed of light for accurate calculation.
