Question

As you drive away from a radio transmitter, the radio signal you receive from the station is shifted to longer wavelengths.

1. True
2. False.

Answer 1

Answer:

True

Explanation:

${Apparent}.wavelength = (True.wavelength)(1 +\frac{recession.velocity}{wave.speed})$

As one drive away from the radio station, the recession velocity increases and causes the apparent wavelength to increase accordingly, which in turn causes the True wavelength received from the radio station to increase as well because of their direct relationship as shown in the equation above.
