Special Relativity

The theory of special relativity discusses how space and time are related to objects traveling along a straight line at a constant speed. Simply stated, as an object reaches the speed of light, its mass becomes infinite and it is unable to move faster than light. This interstellar speed limit has been the topic of much debate in astronomy, and also in science fiction when people consider how to fly over large distances.

Question

Distance of Light Travel. How far (in meters) does light travel in the
time it takes sound to travel 1 cm (1 x 10^-2 m) in air at 20°C? (Hint, recall
the temperature dependant speed of sound in air formula that we used in
our sound lab that we used calculating sound speed at the football field).

The first radio broadcast was made on January 13, 1910. It was a live performance at New York Citys Metropolitan Opera House. Since that time, how far has that radio broadcast traveled in light-years? In the solar neighborhood there is, on average, one star system per 400 cubic light-years. How many star systems could have heard those opera singers? (Note: The volume of a sphere = 43r3.)
Imagine that a spacecraft has landed on Mercury and is transmitting radio signals to Earth at a wavelength of 10.000 cm. When Mercury is seen from Earth in the evening sky, at its greatest angular distance east of the Sun, it is moving toward Earth at its maximum possible relative speed of 47.9 km/s. To what wavelength must you tune your radio telescope to detect the signals? (Hint: Use the Doppler formula in Reasoning with Numbers 6-2.)
