Ast101- lecture 13: doppler"s shift, origi(cid:374) of the solar syste(cid:373) Light tells us: temperature: peak of continuum spectrum (blackbody curve, density: continuum spectrum vs line spectrum, composition: which emission/absorption lines are present. Has small effect as speed of a light wave is very fast. Clicker q&a: an orange object is moving towards you at a significant fraction of the speed of light. It will appear more blue (higher frequency and shorter wavelength) Doppler only measures line of sight: object moving directly away, measure all of its speed, moving across our line of sight, measure none of its speed, moving diagonally, measure only part of its speed. Real spectra are messy: spectrum of a galaxy has: Figure 2 (pearson education, 2014: emission and absorption lines from many elements, continuum spectrum from combined light of all the stars in the galaxy, all the lines are redshifted:

When a car with its horn blowing drives by an observer, the pitch of the horn seems higher as it approaches and lower as it recedes (see the figure). This phenomenon is called the Doppler effect. If the sound source is moving at speed relative to the observer and if the speed of sound is , then the perceived frequency f is related to the actual frequency as follows:

We choose the minus sign if the source is moving toward the observer and the plus sign if it is moving away.
Suppose that a car drives at 110 ft/s past a woman standing on the shoulder of a highway, blowing its horn, which has a frequency of 500 Hz. Assume that the speed of sound is 1130 ft/s.

(a) What are the frequencies of the sounds that the woman hears as the car approaches her and as it moves away from her?
(b) Let A be the amplitude of the sound. Find functions of the form

that model the perceived sound as the car approaches the woman and as it recedes.
