The Wavelength $\lambda$ ₀ of Light Emitted by a Moving Object Is Detected

question 150

Multiple Choice

The wavelength $\lambda$ ₀ of light emitted by a moving object is detected as a different wavelength $\lambda$ by a stationary observer. If v is the velocity of the object and c is the velocity of light, this Doppler shift can be described by the equation

• A) (\(\lambda\) - \(\lambda\)₀ = v - c.)
• B) (\(\lambda\)/\(\lambda\)₀ = v/c.)
• C) (\(\lambda\)\(\lambda\)₀ = vc.)
• D) (\(\lambda\) - \(\lambda\)₀)/\(\lambda\)₀ = v/c.)
