A police car’s radar gun emits microwaves with a frequency of f1 = 8.20 GHz. The beam reflects from a speeding car, which is moving toward the police car at 46.4 m/s with respect to the police car. The speeder’s radar detector detects the microwave at a frequency f2. A) How can you compare the two frequencies f1 and f2? B) Find the frequency difference f2 − f1 in kilohertz.
A white light is projected onto a tablecloth. Using the light reflecting off the tablecloth, an observer determines that the color of the tablecloth is blue. a. Using the wave model of light, explain how the observer is capable of making this judgment. b. Describe how using the particle model of light limits our explanation of the observer’s judgment.

A prism can split light up into its colors because the speed of the different colors of light in glass varies slightly, with purple being the slowest, and red the fastest. White light is shined through a prism, which of the following describes the light that emerges from the prism? After passing through the triangular prism, the light becomes triangular shaped The light splits into its colors, with purple bending the most Only white light emerges from the prism O The light splits into its colors, with purple bending the least
S A glass lens has a scratch-resistant plastic coating on it. The speed of light in the glass is 0.680c, and the speed of light in the coating is 0.80c. A ray of light in the coating is incident on the plastic-glass boundary at an angle of 12.3° with respect to the normal. At what angle with respect to the normal is the ray transmitted into the glass? 0
