Explain the Doppler Shift Effect, and how it can be used to measure blood flow in the body.

The Doppler Shift describes a change in frequency of a wave that an observer sees when moving relative to the source of the waves.

A good example of the Doppler Shift is the change in pitch (how hi...

why does photoelectric emission occur only when there is a certain threshold frequency of incident radiation?

According to the particle theory of light, hf=φ+KEmax, so along with the minimum amount of energy required, there is a minimum frequency as well, φ= hfo. Thus, the incident photon must have a f...

A cannon ball is shot at an angle of 60 degrees from a cliff of height 50m, if it's inital speed is 20ms^-1 what horizontal distance does it travel before hitting the ground.

This question uses the equations of motion, commonly referred to as the SUVAT equations. We will need to consider the horizontal and vertical components of motion separately. As the vertical component det...

What is meant by the doppler effect?

The doppler effect is the change in frequency and wavelength of waves coming from a wave source moving relative to you. If a wavesource is stationary then the waves in all directions all have the same fre...
