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

Question 198

Multiple Choice

The wavelength λ\lambda 0 of light emitted by a moving object is detected as a different wavelength λ\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) ( λ\lambda - λ\lambda 0 = v - c.)
B) ( λ\lambda / λ\lambda 0 = v/c.)
C) ( λ\lambdaλ\lambda 0 = vc.)
D) ( λ\lambda - λ\lambda 0) / λ\lambda 0 = v/c.)
