Multiple Choice
Nexrad radar uses electromagnetic radiation of frequency of 2.7 GHz to measure the speed of cloud systems. Radio waves from a transmitter are sent outward toward a cloud system, and the waves are reflected back toward the source. If the cloud system is moving, the reflected waves will be Doppler shifted. Suppose a Nexrad system observes clouds moving toward the transmitter at 21 m/s. What is the difference between the transmitted and received frequencies of the radar in this case?
A) 380 Hz
B) 760 Hz
C) 570 Hz
D) 190 Hz
