From George's perspective, Anna's signal is approaching him at a speed of? c 0.5c 2c 0
- As shown in the figure, a stationary mirror is mounted in a reference frame S and a space shuttle moves toward the mirror at a speed v = 0.590c relative to the reference frame S. The instant the shuttle is a distance d = 5.00 × 10¹0 m from the mirror (as measured by an observer in S), it emits a light pulse that travels to the mirror and is reflected back to the shuttle. Determine the total travel time (in s) for the light pulse as seen by the following. (a) an observer in the S reference frame S (b) an observer on the shuttle S What If? If the light beam has an initial wavelength of 530 nm, determine the shift (in nm) in the wavelength of the light beam as measured by the following (use + for an increase and decrease).
