How fast should a car move for the drive...

How fast should a car move for the driver to perceiver a red traffic light `(lambda ~~0.70 mum)` as a green one `(lambda' ~~ 0.55 mu m)`?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

As in the previous problem
`(v)/(c ) = (lambda^(2)-lambda'^(2))/(lambda^(2)+lambda'^(2))`
so `v=c(((lambda)/(lambda'))^(2)-1)/(((lambda)/(lambda'))^(2)+1) = 7.1 xx 10^(4)km//s`

Experience shows that a body irradiated with light with circular polarization acquires a torque. This happens because such a light possesses an angular momentum whose flow density in vacuum is equal to M = I//omega , where I is the intensity o flight, omega is the angualr oscillation frequacny. Suppose light with circualr polarization and wavelength lambda = 0.70 mu m falls normally on a uniform black disc of mass m = 10 mg which can freely rotate about its axis. How soon will its angualr velocity become equal to omega_(0) = 1.0 rad//s provided I = 10 W//cm^(2) ?
