Source & receiver moving away from one another is a
-
Negative shift
-
No change
-
Positive shift
Correct Answer
A. Negative shiftExplanation
When the source and receiver are moving away from each other, it causes an increase in the wavelength of the waves. This is known as a redshift and is associated with a decrease in frequency and energy. In terms of the Doppler effect, it is a negative shift because the observed frequency is lower than the emitted frequency. This negative shift indicates that the waves are stretched out and have a longer wavelength compared to when the source and receiver are at rest relative to each other.Rate this question:

Change in frequency occurs because of movement of RBC's
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The given statement is true because the movement of red blood cells (RBCs) can cause a change in frequency. When RBCs move, they create disturbances in the surrounding fluid, which can be detected as changes in frequency. This phenomenon is utilized in various medical devices, such as Doppler ultrasound, where the movement of RBCs is measured by the change in frequency of reflected sound waves. Therefore, the statement is correct.Rate this question:

The source & receiver approaching one another is a
-
Negative shift
-
Positive shift
-
No change
Correct Answer
A. Positive shiftExplanation
When the source and receiver are approaching each other, there is a compression of the waves in front of the source, resulting in a decrease in wavelength and an increase in frequency. This causes a shift towards higher frequencies, known as a positive shift.Rate this question:

If increased frequency, the Doppler shift will
-
Increased
-
Decreased
-
Remain unchanged
Correct Answer
A. IncreasedExplanation
When the frequency of a wave increases, the Doppler shift also increases. The Doppler shift refers to the change in frequency or wavelength of a wave as observed by an observer moving relative to the source of the wave. If the frequency of the wave increases, it means that the source is moving towards the observer, causing a higher frequency to be observed. Therefore, the correct answer is "increased".Rate this question:

Velocity of the reflector is directly proportional to
-
Doppler shift
-
Frequency
-
Reflector
Correct Answer
A. Doppler shiftExplanation
The velocity of the reflector is directly proportional to the Doppler shift. This means that as the velocity of the reflector increases, the Doppler shift also increases. The Doppler shift is a change in frequency that occurs when there is relative motion between the source of a wave and the observer. In the case of a reflector, the velocity of the reflector affects the change in frequency observed by the reflector. Therefore, the velocity of the reflector and the Doppler shift are directly related.Rate this question:
