Slick willy is in traffic court (again) contesting a $50.00 ticket for running a red light. "you see, your honor, as i was approaching the light, it appeared yellow to me because of the doppler effect. the red light from the traffic signal was shifteed up in frequency because i was traveling towards it, just like the pitch of an approaching car rises as it approaches you." calculate how fast slick willy must have been driving, in meters per second, to observe the red light (wavelength of 683 nm) as yellow (wavelength of 575 nm). (treat the traffic light as stationary, and assume the doppler shift formula for sound works for light as well.)

The extremely high temperatures needed to trigger nuclear fusion are proposed to be generated by laser irradiating a spherical pellet of deuterium and tritium fuel of diameter 1.8 mm. (a) determine the maximum fuel temperature that can be achieved by irradiating the pellet with 200 lasers, each producing a power of 550 w. the pellet has an absorptivity 0.3 and emissivity 0.8.

Two charged particles, q1 and q2, are located on the x-axis, with q1 at the origin and q2 initially at x1 = 12.2 mm. in this configuration, q1 exerts a repulsive force of 2.62 µn on q2. particle q2 is then moved to x2 = 18.0 mm. what is the force (magnitude and direction) that q2 exerts on q1 at this new location? (give the magnitude in µn.)
