Question

Microwaves from a transmitter are directed normally towards a plane reflector. A detector moves along the normal to the reflector. Between positions of 15 successive maxima the detector travels a distance of 0.14 m. The frequency of transmitter is (c=3×108 m/s):

Solution

The correct option is C

1.5×1010 Hz


The detector receives direct as well as reflected waves. Distance moved between two consecutive position of maxima =λ2=0.1414. This gives us f=cλ=1.5×1010 Hz
