Answer to Problem 69AP

The radial velocity components of first batch of raindrops is 13.4m/s_ towards the station, and 13.4m/s_ away from the station.

Explanation of Solution

The first batch of raindrops are moving towards the radio station.

Here there is relative motion between the raindrop and the station. So apply Doppler’s equation to the situation.

Write the expression for the enhanced frequency of radio waves received by the first batch of raindrops.

  f1=fc+vcv                                                                                                               (I)

Here, f1 is the Doppler enhanced frequency received by the first batch of raindrops, f is the original frequency of radio waves transmitted from radio station, c is the speed of light, and v is the speed of radio waves.

The radio waves transmitted towards the first batch of raindrop gets reflected towards the radio station. There is an upward Doppler shift in the frequency of the reflected wave.

Write the expression for the enhanced frequency of the reflected radio waves from first batch of rain drops.

  f1=f1c+vcv                                                                                                           (II)

Here, f1 is the enhanced frequency of the reflected radio waves from the first batch of rain drops.

Use expression (I) in (II).

  f1=fc+vcvc+vcv=f(c+vcv)                                                                                                 (III)

Due to the relative motion of rain drops and the pulse, f suffers a upward Doppler shift from f to f1.

Write the expression to find f1.

  f1=f+Δf                                                                                                               (IV)

Here, Δf is the upward Doppler shift in frequency.

Use expression (IV) in (III).

  f+Δf=f(c+vcv)                                                                                                     (V)

Solve expression (V) for (c+vcv).

  (c+vcv)=f+Δff=1+Δff                                                                                                       (VI)

Simplify expression (VI) to find v.

    (c+v)f=(f+Δf)(cv)cf+vf=cfvf+ΔfcΔfv2vf=ΔfcΔfv                                                                                (VII)

Take terms containing v to left side and solve for v.

    2vf+Δfv=Δfcv(2f+Δf)=Δfcv=Δfc(2f+Δf)                                                                                                  (VIII)

Similarly repeat the calculations for the second batch of raindrops also. Here the frequency is enhanced in down ward direction. So replace +Δf by Δf in equation (IV).

Conclusion:

Substitute 2.85GHz for f, 254Hz for Δf, and 3.00×108m/s for c in equation (VIII) and solve for v of first batch of rain drops.

    v=(254Hz)(3.00×108m/s)2(2.85GHz×1Hz109GHz)+(254Hz)=13.4m/s

Substitute 2.85GHz for f, 254Hz for Δf, and 3.00×108m/s for c in equation (VIII) and solve for v of second batch of raindrops.

  v=(254Hz)(3.00×108m/s)2(2.85GHz×1Hz109GHz)(254Hz)=13.4m/s

Therefore, the radial velocity components of first batch of raindrops is 13.4m/s_ towards the station, and 13.4m/s_ away from the station.

Answer to Problem 69AP

The angular speed of rotation of the rain drops is 0.0567rad/s_.

Explanation of Solution

The first batch of rain drops is at bearing of 38.6° and the second batch of raindrop is at bearing 39.6°. Therefore the batch of the raindrop whirls about a vortex at 1° of arc.

The time taken by the radio wave to travel from station to rain and come back is 180μs.

Write the expression for one way distance travelled by the radio waves.

  r=12ct                                                                                                                    (VII)

Here, r is the one way distance travelled by the radio waves, c is the speed of radio waves, and t is the time taken.

Write the expression for the diameter of the vortex where the rain drops are whirling.

  s=rθ                                                                                                                   (VIII)

Here, s is the diameter of the vortex, r is the one way distance travelled by radio waves, and θ is the angle of whirling of rain drops.

Write the expression for the angular sped of rotation of rain drop about the vortex in terms of the diameter.

  ω=vs2=2vs                                                                                                                      (IX)

Here, ω is the angular speed, and v is the radial speed of rain drops.

Conclusion:

Substitute 3.00×108m/s for c, and 180μs for t in equation (VII) to find d.

  d=12(3.00×108m/s)(180μs×1s106μs)=27000m

Substitute 27000m for r, and 1° for θ in equation (VIII) to find s.

  s=(27000m)(1°)(πrad180°)=471m

Substitute 471m for s , and 13.4m/s for v in equation (IX) to find ω.

  ω=2(13.4m/s)471m=0.0567rad/s

Therefore, the angular speed of rotation of the rain drops is 0.0567rad/s_.

Scientists are working on a new technique to kill cancer cells by zapping them with ultrahigh-energy (in the range of 1.00×1012 W) pulses of light that last for an extremely short time (a few nanoseconds). These short pulses scramble the interior of a cell without causing it to explode, as long pulses would do. We can model a typical such cell as a disk 5.00 μm in diameter, with the pulse lasting for 4.00 ns with an average power of 2.00×1012 W. We shall assume that the energy is spread uniformly over the faces of 100 cells for each pulse.
