A rocket flies toward the earth at 0.5c and the captain shines a laser light beam in the forward direction. |
Part A Which of the following statements about the speed of this light are correct? (There may be more than one correct answer.) Check all that apply. Check all that apply.

Homework Answers
Option a and b are true as speed of light is independent of frame of reference. It is the 2nd law of special theory of relativity given by Einstein. Weather in inertial or non inertial frame, speed of light remain constant.

a light beam shines through a slit and illuminates a distant screen. The central bright fringe on the screen is 1.00 cm wide, as measured between the dark fringes that border it on either side. Which of the following actions would decrease the width of the central fringe? ( There may be more than one correct answer) a- increase the wavelength of the light b-decrease the wavelength of the light c-increase the width of the slit d-put the apparatus all...

Velma's rocket ship is moving away from Mort at a speed of 0.75c. Mort fires a laser beam toward her spaceship, observing the tip of the laser beam to move away from him at speed c. Velma observes this laser beam to move past her at a speed of 1.75c. 1.25c. 0.25c. 0.75c. None of the above. We know that light is quantized because, in the double slit experiment with light, when one slit is closed, no interference pattern shows...

Practice Problem 27.3 SOLUTION A spaceship flies past earth with a speed of 0.980c (about 2.97 x 10 m/s) relative to earth. A crew member on the spaceship measures its length, obtaining the value 400 m. What is the length measured by observers on earth? SET UP The length of the spaceship in the frame in which it is at rest (400 m) is a proper length in this frame, corresponding to lo in We want to find the length...
