Question

  1. a light - emitting object moving toward an observer will appear to the observer to be emitting waves that are a) unchanged b) longer than normal c) shorter than normal

Brief Explanations

This is based on the Doppler effect in physics. When a light - emitting object moves towards an observer, the light waves get compressed. Shorter wavelength corresponds to higher frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum. So the waves appear shorter.

Answer:

C. shorter than normal
