Three observers A, B and C measure the speed of light coming from a source to be `v_A,v_B` and `v_C`. The observer A moves towards the source and C moves away from the soure at the same speed. The observer B stays stationary. The surrounding space is vacuum everywhere.

A

`v_ lt v_(B) lt v_(C )`

B

() `v_(A) gt v_ gt v_(C )`

C

`v_(C ) = (v_(B) + v_(A))/(2)`

D

`v_(A) = v_(B) = v_(C )`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C, D

Speed of light in vaccume is an absolute constant.
It does not depend upon velocity of observer. As
`v_(A) = v_(B) = v_(C )`, therefore, `v_(C ) = (v_(A) + v_(B))/(2)`
