Typische Beispielaufgaben & Prüfungsfallen
Worked Problem
Aufgabe: Police car at 34m/s approaches stationary pedestrian sounding 900Hz siren in 340m/s air. Find perceived frequencies approaching and receding.
Schrittweise Herleitung:
- Approaching: f = 900*340/(340-34) = 1000Hz. Receding: f = 900*340/(340+34) = 818.2Hz.
Worked Problem
Aufgabe: What does Hubble's observation of ubiquitous galactic spectral redshift prove?
Schrittweise Herleitung:
- Redshift lengthens perceived wavelengths, demonstrating galaxies are rapidly receding, proving the expansion of the universe.
Arbeitsblatt für den Unterricht & Hausaufgaben
Q1. Variant 1: Does the source itself emit at a changed frequency? Why does the observer perceive a shift?
Answer Key: Source emission frequency is unchanged. Spatial wavelength compresses or expands, altering wave crest arrival rate at the receiver.
Q2. Variant 2: How does police Doppler radar gauge speeding vehicle velocities?
Answer Key: Radar emits fixed microwave f0. Moving car reflects a Doppler-shifted signal. Frequency difference Δf ≈ 2f0(v/c) yields vehicle speed.
Q3. Variant 3: How is Doppler ultrasound used in clinical cardiovascular diagnosis?
Answer Key: Ultrasound bounces off moving red blood cells. Frequency shift color-codes blood flow direction and velocity to detect heart and vascular stenosis.
Häufige Fragen & typische Missverständnisse
Does the ambulance driver hear a Doppler pitch shift?
No! The driver and siren are mutually stationary (zero relative speed), so wavefront spacing remains normal inside the vehicle.
When does a ground observer hear a supersonic jet approaching overhead?
Silence until the aircraft has passed and the trailing Mach cone shockwave sweeps over the observer, producing an instantaneous sonic boom.
What motion directions do Doppler redshift and blueshift indicate in astronomy?
Blueshift (higher frequency, shorter wavelength) means approaching; redshift (lower frequency, longer wavelength) means receding.
How do Doppler weather radars forecast tornadoes and storms?
Radio waves bounce off raindrops and hail. Doppler shifts reveal internal cloud wind speeds and rotating vortices, giving advance tornado warnings.
