A police officer's radar gun emits radio waves at a frequency of
11.1 GHz. What is the difference in the frequencies reflected back
to the radar gun by a car traveling at the 35 mph speed limit and a
car traveling 9 mph faster? Assume that the cars are both headed
directly away from the stationary officer.

A police officer's radar gun emits radio waves at a frequency of 10.9 GHz . What is the difference in the frequencies reflected back to the radar gun by a car traveling at the 65 mph speed limit and a car travelling 5 mph faster? Assume that the cars are both headed directly away from the stationary officer.
(10%) Problem 9: Slick Willy is in traffic court (again) contesting a $50.00 ticket for speeding. The speed limit was vo 50 mph and the police officer clocked Slick going vsw 68 mph. However, he was caught by a police officer driving towards him, so he is arguing that although the police officer measured him to be speeding, in reality he was not. Slick Willy is assuming that the Doppler shift in electromagnetic radiation is described in the same way...
A radar gun used by a police officer measures your speed at a
certain instant in time, whereas an officer in a plane measures the
time it takes for you to travel the known distance between two
stripes painted on the highway.
What is the difference in nature between these two types of
measurement and which is the fairer basis for issuing a speeding
ticket?
Would your answer change if one stripe occurred before a rest
area and the other...
