he Doppler weather radar used by the National Weather Service is referred to as Nexrad, which stands for nextgeneration radar. Nexrad commonly operates at a frequency of 2.7 GHz. If a Nexrad wave reflects from an approaching weather system that is moving with a speed of 28 m>s, find the difference in frequency between the outgoing andreturning waves. (Assume the speed of the radar waves is c.)
Many galaxies have supermassive black holes at their centres.As material swirls around such a black hole,it is heated,become ionized and generates strong magnetic fields.the resulting magnetic forces steer some of the material into high speeds jets that blast out of the galaxy and into intergalactic space.The light we observe from the jet in fig.has frequency of 6.66(10^14 hz)
(in the far ultra voilet region of the electromagnetic spectrum)but in the reference frame of the jet material the light has frequency of 5.55(10^13 hz)(in the infrared).What is the speed of the jet material with respect to us?
Gamma-ray bursters are objects in the uni-
verse that emit pulses of gamma rays with
high energies. The frequency of the most en-
ergetic bursts has been measured at around
3.0 x 1021 Hz.
The speed of light is 3 x 10° m/s.
What is the wavelength of these gamma
rays?
Answer in units of m.
