The state highway patrol radar guns use a frequency of 8.94 GHz. If you're approaching a speed trap driving 32.3 m/s, what frequency shift will your FuzzFoiler 2000 radar detector see?

Respuesta :

Answer:

962.5 Hz

Explanation:

given,

frequency = 8.94 GHz

speed of the trap = 32.3 m/s

frequency shift = ?

frequency of shift is calculated using formula

[tex]\Delta f = \dfrac{u}{c}f_o[/tex]

c is the speed of light

f_o is the frequency of the radar gun

[tex]\Delta f = \dfrac{32.3}{3\times 10^8}\times 8.94 \times 10^{9}[/tex]

[tex]\Delta f = 962.5\ Hz[/tex]

the frequency of shift is equal to 962.5 Hz
