A Merry-go-round made of a ring-like platform of radius R and mass M is revolving with angular speed omega . A person of mass M is standing on it. At one instant, the person jumps off the round radially away from the center of the round (as seen from the center of the round (as seen from the round). The speed of the round afterwards is

Doppler's effect in sound is different depending on whether the source or observer is in motion. However in case of light, the Doppler's shift is the same irrespective of whether the source or observer is in motion, explain how?

What is Doppler's effect?Derive a general expression for the apparent frequency when both source and observer are in relative motion.

For sound waves, the Doppler formula for frequency shift differs slightly between the two situations: 1. source at rest, observer moving 2. source moving, observer at rest. The exact Doppler formulas for the case of light waves in vacuum are, however, strictly identical for these situations. Explain why this should be so. Would you expect the formulas to be strictly identical for the two situations in case of light travelling in a medium?

A laboratory blood test is 99% effective in detecting a certain disease when it is in fact, present. However, the test also yields a false positive result for 0.5% of the healthy person tested (i.e. if a healthy person is tested, then, with probability 0.005, the test will imply he has the disease). If 0.1 percent of the population actually has the disease, what is the probability that a person has the disease given that his test result is positive ?

Can you notice Doppler effect, if both the observer(or listener) and the source of sound are moving with same velocity in the same direction.

A person has a hearing range from 20 Hz to 20 KHz. What is the typical wavelength of sound waves in air corresponding to these frequencies ? Take the speed of sound in air as 344 ms^ -1 .
