Last July 23, 2020, China launched its Tianwen-1 space mission to bring their rover, named Zhurong, to Mars.
Zhurong landed on Mars on May 14, 2021. Mars moves at 27 km/s with respect to Earth. If an Earth-based
observer shines a laser at Zhurong and is reflected back to Earth, the Earth-based observer will measure the speed
of the reflected beam to be

A spaceship is coming directly toward you while you are in the International Space Station. You are told that the spaceship is shining sodium light (with an intense yellow doublet of wavelengths 588.9950 and 589.5924 nm). You have an apparatus that can resolve two closely spaced wavelengths if the difference is ∆λ < 0.55 nm. If you fi nd that you can just resolve the doublet, how fast is the spaceship traveling with respect to you?
Q1(A). Prove using step-by-step solution that f(v) = E/h is equal to 1.80x1015 Hz, therefore λ = C/f is equal to 254nm.
Q1(B). Refer to the visible light spectrum to determine what region of EM radiation does this light fall?
Q1(C). Show step-by step solution to integrate the velocity function if the initial position of the particle is s(0) = 9. Find the particle position at: (1) t = 1 sec ; (2) t = 5 sec

- You have been hired as an expert witness for an attorney who is representing a speeding driver. The driver of the car was given a ticket for running a red light at an intersection. According to the driver, who has taken some courses in physics, when he was looking at the red light as he approached the intersection, the Doppler shift made the light of wavelength 650 nm appear to be green light of wavelength 520 nm. Therefore, according to the driver, he should not be charged with running a red light because it appeared green to him. What advice do you give the attorney?arrow_forwardHigh-Energy Cancer Treatment. Scientists are working on a new technique to kill cancer cells by zapping them with ultrahighenergy (in the range of 1012 W) pulses of light that last for an extremely short time (a few nanoseconds). These short pulses scramble the interior of a cell without causing it to explode, as long pulses would do. We can model a typical such cell as a disk 5.0 um in diameter, with the pulse lasting for 4.0 ns with an average power of 2.0 * 1012 W. We shall assume that the energy is spread uniformly over the faces of 100 cells for each pulse. (a) How much energy is given to the cell during this pulse?
