A plane relectromagentic wave from of frequency v_(0) falls normally on the surfave of a mirror approaching with a relativistic velocity v. Then frequency of the reflected wave will be (given beta= (v)/(c)):

Answer»

`(1-beta)/(1 + beta)v_(0)`
`(1 + beta)/((1- beta)v_(0))`
`((1 + beta)v_(0))/(1 - beta)`
`(1 - beta)/((1 + beta)v_(0))`

Solution :FREQUENCY of e.m WAVES going TOWARDS the approaching,
`omega. = (C + v)/(c) omega_(0)`
Frequency of waves reflected from mirror and going towards source.
`omega.. = (c)/(c-v) omega.`
`therefore omega.. = (c)/(c-v) xx (c+ v)/(c) omega_(0)`
`omega.. = ((c+ v)/(c-v))omega_(0) = ((1 + v/c))/(1 -v/c) omega_(0) = ((1 + beta)/(1 - beta))omega_(0)`
where `beta = v/c" therefore v.. = ((1 + beta)/(1- beta)) v_(0)`
