Question

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?

Answer 1

962.5 Hz

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

frequency = 8.94 GHz

speed of the trap = 32.3 m/s

frequency shift = ?

frequency of shift is calculated using formula

`\Delta f = (u)/(c)f_o`

c is the speed of light

f_o is the frequency of the radar gun

`\Delta f = (32.3)/(3* 10^8)* 8.94 * 10^(9)`

`\Delta f = 962.5\ Hz`

the frequency of shift is equal to 962.5 Hz
