The drawing shows three situations - A, B, and C - in which an observer and a source of electromagnetic waves are moving along the same line. In each case the source emits a wave that has a frequency of 4.57 x 1014 Hz. The arrows in each situation denote velocity vectors of the observer and source relative to the ground and have the magnitudes indicated (vor 2v), where the speed v is 2.6 x 106 m/s. Calculate the observed frequency in each of the three cases. A: f= B: f= i i C: f= i A B с ··· Observer Source 1,1 ? 2v

how would you solve this? Light is emitted from the light source, reflects from mirror surface X to the plane mirror, and then to the position of surface Z. By the time the light moves from the X to Z position, mirror surface X will have moved to the position of mirror surface Z. The light then continues to the observer. The distances from the light source and the observer to the rotating mirrors are negligible. The distance from the rotating mirrors to the plane mirror is 35.0 km.If the mirrors are rotating at 480 rev/s, the speed of light calculated from the given information is a 7.44 10–9 m/s b 1.34 108 m/s c 2.98 10–8 m/s d 3.36 107 m/s
