Q1MEDIUMPaper 1qualitative wavefront bunching定性波前堆积[4 marks]

A car sounds a steady horn at constant speed. (a) explain why the observed frequency is higher on approach using wavefront spacing; (b) describe the pitch over the whole passage and at the level instant.汽车匀速鸣笛。(a) 用波前间距解释为何接近时观察频率更高;(b) 描述整个经过及平齐瞬间的音调。

Answers:答案:  (a) bunched wavefronts shorten $\lambda$, so $f' > f$波前堆积使 $\lambda$ 变短,故 $f' > f$  ·  (b) high then a sudden drop; $f' \approx f$ at the level instant先高后骤降;平齐瞬间 $f' \approx f$

(a) Why the pitch rises on approach M1·A1

In each period the source moves a little closer to the observer, so each successive wavefront is emitted nearer than the last and the wavefronts ahead of the car bunch together. (M1)

Closer-spaced wavefronts mean a shorter observed wavelength $\lambda'$. The wave speed in the air is unchanged, so from $v = f\lambda$ a shorter $\lambda'$ gives a higher observed frequency $f' > f$. (A1)

(b) Pitch over the whole passage A1·A1

While approaching, the observed frequency is steady and above $f$ (a high pitch). After passing, the wavefronts stretch out and the observed frequency falls below $f$ (a low pitch). (A1)

At the instant the car is level, its motion is momentarily at right angles to the line of sight, so the radial speed is zero and $f' \approx f$: the pedestrian hears a sudden drop from high to low at that point. (A1)

Insight. The classic error is to claim a continuous rise. Pitch is roughly constant and high on approach, roughly constant and low on recession, with the change concentrated at the moment of passing. Only the radial (line-of-sight) component of velocity Doppler-shifts the sound, and that component reverses sign as the car passes.

(a) 为何接近时音调升高 M1·A1

每个周期内波源稍稍更靠近观察者,故每个相继波前都比前一个发出得更近,车前方的波前彼此堆积。(M1)

波前间距变小意味着观测波长 $\lambda'$ 变短。空气中波速不变,由 $v = f\lambda$,$\lambda'$ 变短给出更高的观测频率 $f' > f$。(A1)

(b) 整个经过过程的音调 A1·A1

接近时观测频率稳定且高于 $f$(音调偏高)。经过后波前拉伸,观测频率降到 $f$ 以下(音调偏低)。(A1)

汽车平齐瞬间,其运动暂时垂直于视线,径向速度为零,$f' \approx f$:行人在该点听到音调由高到低骤降。(A1)

要点。典型错误是说音调持续升高。接近时音调大致恒定且偏高,远离时大致恒定且偏低,变化集中在经过瞬间。只有径向(视线方向)速度分量产生多普勒频移,而该分量在经过时改变符号。
Q2MEDIUMPaper 1light shift: line displacement to speed光频移:谱线位移求速度[6 marks]

Hydrogen line rest $434.0\ \mathrm{nm}$, observed at $434.3\ \mathrm{nm}$ in a star. (a) red or blue, approaching or receding; (b) radial speed; (c) why the low-speed formula is justified.氢线静止 $434.0\ \mathrm{nm}$,在恒星中观测为 $434.3\ \mathrm{nm}$。(a) 红移或蓝移、接近或远离;(b) 径向速率;(c) 为何低速公式合理。

Answers:答案:  (a) redshift, receding红移,远离  ·  (b) $v \approx 2.1\times10^{5}\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$  ·  (c) $v \ll c$

(a) Red or blue, and direction A1·A1

The observed wavelength is longer than the rest wavelength, $\Delta\lambda = +0.3\ \mathrm{nm} > 0$, so the line is redshifted. (A1)

A redshift corresponds to increasing separation, so the star is receding. (A1)

(b) Radial speed M1·M1·A1

Use $\dfrac{\Delta\lambda}{\lambda} \approx \dfrac{v}{c}$ with $\Delta\lambda = 0.3\ \mathrm{nm}$, $\lambda = 434.0\ \mathrm{nm}$. (M1)

$$ v \approx c\,\frac{\Delta\lambda}{\lambda} = (3.00\times10^{8})\times\frac{0.3}{434.0}. $$

(M1 for substitution)

$$ v \approx (3.00\times10^{8})(6.9\times10^{-4}) \approx 2.1\times10^{5}\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}. $$

(A1)

(c) Why the low-speed form is valid B1

The speed found is about $7\times10^{-4}$ of $c$, that is $v \ll c$, so the non-relativistic approximation $\Delta\lambda/\lambda \approx v/c$ is well justified. (B1)

Insight. Because $\Delta\lambda/\lambda$ is a ratio of two lengths, the units cancel and the nanometres need not be converted to metres. Carry the shift to enough figures before multiplying by $c$; here $0.3/434.0$ is small, so a careless round to $0.001$ would overstate $v$ by nearly $50\%$. The sign of $\Delta\lambda$, not its magnitude, fixes red versus blue.

(a) 红移或蓝移及方向 A1·A1

观测波长长于静止波长,$\Delta\lambda = +0.3\ \mathrm{nm} > 0$,故该线为红移。(A1)

红移对应间距增大,故恒星正在远离。(A1)

(b) 径向速率 M1·M1·A1

用 $\dfrac{\Delta\lambda}{\lambda} \approx \dfrac{v}{c}$,$\Delta\lambda = 0.3\ \mathrm{nm}$,$\lambda = 434.0\ \mathrm{nm}$。(M1)

$$ v \approx c\,\frac{\Delta\lambda}{\lambda} = (3.00\times10^{8})\times\frac{0.3}{434.0}. $$

(代入得 M1)

$$ v \approx (3.00\times10^{8})(6.9\times10^{-4}) \approx 2.1\times10^{5}\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}. $$

(A1)

(c) 为何低速形式有效 B1

所求速率约为 $c$ 的 $7\times10^{-4}$,即 $v \ll c$,故非相对论近似 $\Delta\lambda/\lambda \approx v/c$ 完全成立。(B1)

要点。由于 $\Delta\lambda/\lambda$ 是两个长度之比,单位相消,纳米无需换成米。乘以 $c$ 之前要把频移保留足够位数;此处 $0.3/434.0$ 很小,若草率取整到 $0.001$ 会把 $v$ 高估近 $50\%$。判断红/蓝看 $\Delta\lambda$ 的符号而非大小。
Q3HARDPaper 1HL ONLYmoving source, both signs波源运动,两种符号[6 marks]

Train horn $480\ \mathrm{Hz}$, $v_s = 25\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$, $v = 340\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$. (a) frequency on approach; (b) on recession; (c) explain why the rise exceeds the fall.火车汽笛 $480\ \mathrm{Hz}$,$v_s = 25\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$,$v = 340\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$。(a) 接近频率;(b) 远离频率;(c) 解释为何升高大于降低。

Answers:答案:  (a) $f' \approx 518\ \mathrm{Hz}$  ·  (b) $f' \approx 447\ \mathrm{Hz}$  ·  (c) $v_s$ in the denominator makes $f'$ nonlinear in $v_s$$v_s$ 在分母使 $f'$ 对 $v_s$ 非线性

(a) Approaching source M1·A1

Moving source approaching, take the minus sign: $f' = f\dfrac{v}{v - v_s}$. (M1)

$$ f' = 480\times\frac{340}{340 - 25} = 480\times\frac{340}{315} \approx 518\ \mathrm{Hz}. $$

(A1)

(b) Receding source M1·A1

Moving source receding, take the plus sign: $f' = f\dfrac{v}{v + v_s}$. (M1)

$$ f' = 480\times\frac{340}{340 + 25} = 480\times\frac{340}{365} \approx 447\ \mathrm{Hz}. $$

(A1)

(c) Why the asymmetry M1·R1

The rise is $518 - 480 = +38\ \mathrm{Hz}$, while the fall is $480 - 447 = -33\ \mathrm{Hz}$: the rise is larger. (M1)

This is because $v_s$ sits in the denominator of $f' = fv/(v \pm v_s)$, so the function is nonlinear: $\dfrac{v}{v - v_s}$ grows faster than $\dfrac{v}{v + v_s}$ shrinks for the same $v_s$. The relation is not symmetric in $v_s$. (R1)

Insight. For a moving source the wavelength itself is changed, so $v_s$ enters the denominator and the shift is asymmetric. Contrast the moving-observer case, where $v_o$ sits in the numerator and equal toward/away speeds give equal-and-opposite shifts. Stating "decide approach gives $f' > f$, then force the sign" prevents the most common slip of adding when you should subtract.

(a) 波源接近 M1·A1

波源接近,取减号:$f' = f\dfrac{v}{v - v_s}$。(M1)

$$ f' = 480\times\frac{340}{340 - 25} = 480\times\frac{340}{315} \approx 518\ \mathrm{Hz}. $$

(A1)

(b) 波源远离 M1·A1

波源远离,取加号:$f' = f\dfrac{v}{v + v_s}$。(M1)

$$ f' = 480\times\frac{340}{340 + 25} = 480\times\frac{340}{365} \approx 447\ \mathrm{Hz}. $$

(A1)

(c) 为何不对称 M1·R1

升高为 $518 - 480 = +38\ \mathrm{Hz}$,降低为 $480 - 447 = -33\ \mathrm{Hz}$:升高更大。(M1)

这是因为 $v_s$ 位于 $f' = fv/(v \pm v_s)$ 的分母,函数非线性:对相同 $v_s$,$\dfrac{v}{v - v_s}$ 增大得比 $\dfrac{v}{v + v_s}$ 减小得快。该关系对 $v_s$ 不对称。(R1)

要点。波源运动改变的是波长本身,故 $v_s$ 进入分母、频移不对称。对比观察者运动,$v_o$ 在分子,朝向与远离的相同速率给出大小相等、符号相反的频移。先判断"接近给出 $f' > f$,再让符号匹配",可避免该加却减的最常见错误。
Q4HARDPaper 1HL ONLYmoving observer then combined观察者运动再组合[6 marks]

Speaker $600\ \mathrm{Hz}$, $v = 340\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$. (a) runner toward stationary speaker at $18\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$; (b) both toward each other at $18\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$; (c) why sound treats the two cases differently.扬声器 $600\ \mathrm{Hz}$,$v = 340\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$。(a) 跑者以 $18\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$ 朝静止扬声器;(b) 两者以 $18\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$ 相向;(c) 声波为何区别对待两种情形。

Answers:答案:  (a) $f' \approx 632\ \mathrm{Hz}$  ·  (b) $f' \approx 667\ \mathrm{Hz}$  ·  (c) the air is a medium that defines a rest frame空气作为介质定义了静止参考系

(a) Moving observer, stationary source M1·A1

Observer moving toward a stationary source, take the plus sign: $f' = f\dfrac{v + v_o}{v}$. (M1)

$$ f' = 600\times\frac{340 + 18}{340} = 600\times\frac{358}{340} \approx 632\ \mathrm{Hz}. $$

(A1)

(b) Both moving toward each other M1·A1

Combined formula: observer approaching (plus on top), source approaching (minus on bottom): $f' = f\dfrac{v + v_o}{v - v_s}$ with $v_o = v_s = 18$. (M1)

$$ f' = 600\times\frac{340 + 18}{340 - 18} = 600\times\frac{358}{322} \approx 667\ \mathrm{Hz}. $$

(A1)

(c) Why the two contributions differ R1·R1

A moving observer sweeps through wavefronts faster but does not change their spacing, so $v_o$ appears in the numerator; a moving source compresses the wavelength itself, so $v_s$ appears in the denominator. (R1)

The two differ because the air is a medium that defines a rest frame: "source moving" and "observer moving" are physically distinct relative to that air, even at the same speed. (R1)

Insight. The combined result $667\ \mathrm{Hz}$ exceeds the simple sum of the two separate $18\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$ shifts because the source term divides while the observer term multiplies. The cleanest method is to write the full combined formula once and assign each sign from the approach-raises-$f'$ rule, rather than chaining two separate calculations. For light there is no medium, so this asymmetry vanishes entirely.

(a) 观察者运动、波源静止 M1·A1

观察者朝静止波源运动,取加号:$f' = f\dfrac{v + v_o}{v}$。(M1)

$$ f' = 600\times\frac{340 + 18}{340} = 600\times\frac{358}{340} \approx 632\ \mathrm{Hz}. $$

(A1)

(b) 两者相向运动 M1·A1

组合公式:观察者接近(分子取加),波源接近(分母取减):$f' = f\dfrac{v + v_o}{v - v_s}$,$v_o = v_s = 18$。(M1)

$$ f' = 600\times\frac{340 + 18}{340 - 18} = 600\times\frac{358}{322} \approx 667\ \mathrm{Hz}. $$

(A1)

(c) 两者贡献为何不同 R1·R1

运动的观察者更快地掠过波前,但不改变波前间距,故 $v_o$ 出现在分子;运动的波源压缩波长本身,故 $v_s$ 出现在分母。(R1)

两者不同是因为空气作为介质定义了静止参考系:"波源运动"与"观察者运动"相对该空气在物理上不同,即使速率相同。(R1)

要点。组合结果 $667\ \mathrm{Hz}$ 大于两个 $18\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$ 单独频移的简单相加,因为波源项是相除而观察者项是相乘。最干净的方法是一次写出完整组合公式,按"接近使 $f'$ 升高"逐一定号,而非把两次单独计算串联。对光没有介质,这种不对称完全消失。
Q5HARDPaper 1redshift, blueshift & recession红移、蓝移与退行[6 marks]

Galaxy H-line rest $656.3\ \mathrm{nm}$, observed $660.0\ \mathrm{nm}$. (a) define redshift and blueshift; (b) recession speed; (c) Andromeda is blueshifted, interpret and reconcile with the general redshift.星系氢线静止 $656.3\ \mathrm{nm}$,观测 $660.0\ \mathrm{nm}$。(a) 定义红移与蓝移;(b) 退行速率;(c) 仙女座蓝移,解释并与普遍红移调和。

Answers:答案:  (a) redshift: $\lambda_{\text{obs}} > \lambda_{\text{rest}}$; blueshift: $\lambda_{\text{obs}} < \lambda_{\text{rest}}$红移:$\lambda_{\text{obs}} > \lambda_{\text{rest}}$;蓝移:$\lambda_{\text{obs}} < \lambda_{\text{rest}}$  ·  (b) $v \approx 1.7\times10^{6}\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$  ·  (c) approaching; a local exception接近;局部例外

(a) Definitions A1·A1

Redshift: the observed wavelength is longer than the rest wavelength, $\Delta\lambda = \lambda_{\text{obs}} - \lambda_{\text{rest}} > 0$. (A1)

Blueshift: the observed wavelength is shorter than the rest wavelength, $\Delta\lambda < 0$. (A1)

(b) Recession speed M1·A1

$\Delta\lambda = 660.0 - 656.3 = 3.7\ \mathrm{nm} > 0$ (a redshift). Use $v \approx c\,\Delta\lambda/\lambda$: (M1)

$$ v \approx (3.00\times10^{8})\times\frac{3.7}{656.3} \approx 1.7\times10^{6}\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}. $$

(A1)

(c) Andromeda's blueshift A1·R1

A blueshift means $\lambda_{\text{obs}} < \lambda_{\text{rest}}$, so Andromeda is approaching the Milky Way. (A1)

This does not contradict the general redshift: Andromeda is a near neighbour whose local gravitational attraction toward us exceeds the cosmological recession at such close range. The expansion-driven redshift only dominates for galaxies far enough that the recession of space outruns these local motions. (R1)

Insight. "Redshift means moving away, blueshift means moving closer" is the safe shorthand, but the deeper point examiners reward is that cosmological redshift is a statement about most distant galaxies, not a universal law for every object. Local peculiar velocities (a galaxy falling into a cluster, two stars orbiting) can flip the sign for nearby systems without undermining the expanding-universe evidence.

(a) 定义 A1·A1

红移:观测波长长于静止波长,$\Delta\lambda = \lambda_{\text{obs}} - \lambda_{\text{rest}} > 0$。(A1)

蓝移:观测波长短于静止波长,$\Delta\lambda < 0$。(A1)

(b) 退行速率 M1·A1

$\Delta\lambda = 660.0 - 656.3 = 3.7\ \mathrm{nm} > 0$(红移)。用 $v \approx c\,\Delta\lambda/\lambda$:(M1)

$$ v \approx (3.00\times10^{8})\times\frac{3.7}{656.3} \approx 1.7\times10^{6}\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}. $$

(A1)

(c) 仙女座的蓝移 A1·R1

蓝移意味着 $\lambda_{\text{obs}} < \lambda_{\text{rest}}$,故仙女座正在接近银河系。(A1)

这并不与普遍红移矛盾:仙女座是近邻,在如此近的距离上它朝我们的局部引力吸引超过宇宙学退行。膨胀驱动的红移只在足够远、空间退行超过这些局部运动的星系上占主导。(R1)

要点。"红移即远离、蓝移即接近"是安全的口诀,但阅卷更看重的深层要点是:宇宙学红移是关于绝大多数遥远星系的陈述,而非每个天体的普适定律。局部本动速度(落入星系团的星系、相互绕转的双星)可使近邻系统的符号反转,而不动摇宇宙膨胀的证据。

Q6HARDPaper 1Bspectral data: speed vs shift谱线数据:速度对频移[10 marks]

Four galaxies, rest line $\lambda_0 = 486.1\ \mathrm{nm}$, shifts $\Delta\lambda = 2.4, 4.9, 7.3, 9.8\ \mathrm{nm}$. (a) show $v$ vs $\Delta\lambda$ is linear through the origin, state the gradient; (b) speed of S, confirm against $c/\lambda_0$; (c) percentage uncertainty in $\Delta\lambda$ for S; (d) trend that evidences expansion.四个星系,静止线 $\lambda_0 = 486.1\ \mathrm{nm}$,移动 $\Delta\lambda = 2.4, 4.9, 7.3, 9.8\ \mathrm{nm}$。(a) 证明 $v$ 对 $\Delta\lambda$ 为过原点直线并说明斜率;(b) S 的速率,用 $c/\lambda_0$ 验证;(c) S 中 $\Delta\lambda$ 的百分比不确定度;(d) 支持膨胀的趋势。

Answers:答案:  (a) $v = \frac{c}{\lambda_0}\Delta\lambda$, gradient $= c/\lambda_0 \approx 6.2\times10^{5}\ \mathrm{s^{-1}}$  ·  (b) $v_S \approx 6.0\times10^{6}\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$  ·  (c) $\approx 2\%$  ·  (d) $v$ rising with distance$v$ 随距离增大

(a) Why $v$ vs $\Delta\lambda$ is linear through the origin M1·A1·A1

From $\dfrac{\Delta\lambda}{\lambda_0} \approx \dfrac{v}{c}$, rearrange for $v$: (M1)

$$ v = \frac{c}{\lambda_0}\,\Delta\lambda. $$

This has the form $v = (\text{gradient})\times\Delta\lambda$ with no intercept, so $v$ against $\Delta\lambda$ is a straight line through the origin. (A1)

Comparing with $y = mx$, the gradient is $\dfrac{c}{\lambda_0} = \dfrac{3.00\times10^{8}}{486.1\times10^{-9}} \approx 6.2\times10^{14}\ \mathrm{m^{-1}\,s^{-1}}$ when $\Delta\lambda$ is in metres, equivalently $6.2\times10^{5}\ \mathrm{s^{-1}}$ per nanometre of shift. (A1)

(b) Speed of galaxy S M1·A1·A1

For S, $\Delta\lambda = 9.8\ \mathrm{nm}$. Using $v = c\,\Delta\lambda/\lambda_0$: (M1)

$$ v_S = (3.00\times10^{8})\times\frac{9.8}{486.1} \approx 6.0\times10^{6}\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}. $$

(A1)

Check against the gradient: $(6.2\times10^{5}\ \mathrm{s^{-1}})\times(9.8\ \mathrm{nm}) = (6.17\times10^{5})(9.8) \approx 6.0\times10^{6}\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$, consistent. (A1)

(c) Percentage uncertainty in $\Delta\lambda$ for S M1·A1

$\Delta\lambda = \lambda_{\text{obs}} - \lambda_0$ is a difference, so absolute uncertainties add: $0.1 + 0.1 = 0.2\ \mathrm{nm}$. (M1)

$$ \frac{0.2}{9.8}\times100\% \approx 2.0\%. $$

(A1)

(d) Trend that evidences expansion B1·B1

If the galaxies with larger recession speed $v$ are also found, by independent distance measurements, to be farther away, then speed increases with distance. (B1)

A systematic increase of recession speed with distance, with almost all distant galaxies redshifted, is the evidence that the universe is expanding. (B1)

Insight. Subtracting two measured wavelengths is the hidden trap: the shift $\Delta\lambda$ is small and its absolute uncertainty is the sum of the two readings' uncertainties, so its percentage uncertainty is far worse than that of either wavelength. This is why spectroscopists prefer large shifts. The gradient $c/\lambda_0$ is the same for every galaxy because $\lambda_0$ is fixed by atomic physics, so a single straight line should fit all four points.

(a) 为何 $v$ 对 $\Delta\lambda$ 为过原点直线 M1·A1·A1

由 $\dfrac{\Delta\lambda}{\lambda_0} \approx \dfrac{v}{c}$,解出 $v$:(M1)

$$ v = \frac{c}{\lambda_0}\,\Delta\lambda. $$

此式形如 $v = (\text{斜率})\times\Delta\lambda$,无截距,故 $v$ 对 $\Delta\lambda$ 为过原点直线。(A1)

与 $y = mx$ 比较,斜率为 $\dfrac{c}{\lambda_0} = \dfrac{3.00\times10^{8}}{486.1\times10^{-9}} \approx 6.2\times10^{14}\ \mathrm{m^{-1}\,s^{-1}}$($\Delta\lambda$ 取米时),即每纳米移动对应 $6.2\times10^{5}\ \mathrm{s^{-1}}$。(A1)

(b) 星系 S 的速率 M1·A1·A1

对 S,$\Delta\lambda = 9.8\ \mathrm{nm}$。用 $v = c\,\Delta\lambda/\lambda_0$:(M1)

$$ v_S = (3.00\times10^{8})\times\frac{9.8}{486.1} \approx 6.0\times10^{6}\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}. $$

(A1)

用斜率验证:$(6.2\times10^{5}\ \mathrm{s^{-1}})\times(9.8\ \mathrm{nm}) = (6.17\times10^{5})(9.8) \approx 6.0\times10^{6}\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$,一致。(A1)

(c) S 中 $\Delta\lambda$ 的百分比不确定度 M1·A1

$\Delta\lambda = \lambda_{\text{obs}} - \lambda_0$ 是差值,故绝对不确定度相加:$0.1 + 0.1 = 0.2\ \mathrm{nm}$。(M1)

$$ \frac{0.2}{9.8}\times100\% \approx 2.0\%. $$

(A1)

(d) 支持膨胀的趋势 B1·B1

若退行速率 $v$ 较大的星系经独立距离测量也更远,则速度随距离增大。(B1)

退行速度随距离系统性增大,且几乎所有遥远星系都红移,这就是宇宙膨胀的证据。(B1)

要点。两个测得波长相减是隐藏陷阱:移动量 $\Delta\lambda$ 很小,其绝对不确定度是两个读数不确定度之和,故其百分比不确定度远差于任一波长。这正是光谱学家偏爱大频移的原因。斜率 $c/\lambda_0$ 对每个星系相同,因为 $\lambda_0$ 由原子物理固定,故一条直线应能拟合全部四点。
Q7HARDPaper 1BHL ONLYmoving source: linearise the data波源运动:数据线性化[12 marks]

Siren $f = 500\ \mathrm{Hz}$ approaching at $v_s = 10,20,30,40\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$; $f' = 515, 531, 548, 567\ \mathrm{Hz}$; $v = 340\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$. (a) equation and why $f'$ vs $v_s$ is not linear; (b) show $1/f' = 1/f - v_s/(fv)$, state gradient and intercept; (c) compute $1/f'$ at $v_s = 10, 40$ and the gradient; (d) obtain $v$ and compare with $340$.警笛 $f = 500\ \mathrm{Hz}$ 以 $v_s = 10,20,30,40\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$ 接近;$f' = 515, 531, 548, 567\ \mathrm{Hz}$;$v = 340\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$。(a) 方程及为何 $f'$ 对 $v_s$ 非线性;(b) 证明 $1/f' = 1/f - v_s/(fv)$,写出斜率与截距;(c) 求 $v_s = 10, 40$ 处的 $1/f'$ 及斜率;(d) 求 $v$ 并与 $340$ 比较。

Answers:答案:  (a) $f' = fv/(v - v_s)$  ·  (b) gradient $= -\frac{1}{fv}$, intercept $= \frac{1}{f}$  ·  (c) gradient $\approx -5.9\times10^{-6}\ \mathrm{s^{2}}$  ·  (d) $v \approx 3.4\times10^{2}\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$, agrees

(a) Equation and why it is not linear A1·R1

For an approaching source $f' = f\dfrac{v}{v - v_s}$. (A1)

Because $v_s$ sits in the denominator, $f'$ is a reciprocal function of $v_s$, not a linear one, so a direct plot of $f'$ against $v_s$ curves upward. (R1)

(b) Linearising M1·A1·A1

Take the reciprocal of $f' = fv/(v - v_s)$: (M1)

$$ \frac{1}{f'} = \frac{v - v_s}{fv} = \frac{v}{fv} - \frac{v_s}{fv} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{v_s}{fv}. $$

This is linear in $v_s$ with gradient $-\dfrac{1}{fv}$ (A1) and intercept $\dfrac{1}{f}$ (A1).

(c) Reciprocals and gradient M1·A1·M1·A1

At $v_s = 10$: $\dfrac{1}{f'} = \dfrac{1}{515} = 1.942\times10^{-3}\ \mathrm{s}$. At $v_s = 40$: $\dfrac{1}{f'} = \dfrac{1}{567} = 1.764\times10^{-3}\ \mathrm{s}$. (M1·A1)

Gradient between these two points: (M1)

$$ \text{gradient} = \frac{1.764\times10^{-3} - 1.942\times10^{-3}}{40 - 10} = \frac{-1.78\times10^{-4}}{30} \approx -5.9\times10^{-6}\ \mathrm{s^{2}\,m^{-1}}. $$

(A1)

(d) Speed of sound from the gradient M1·A1·R1

The gradient equals $-\dfrac{1}{fv}$, so $v = -\dfrac{1}{f\times\text{gradient}}$: (M1)

$$ v = \frac{-1}{(500)(-5.9\times10^{-6})} = \frac{1}{2.95\times10^{-3}} \approx 3.4\times10^{2}\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}. $$

(A1)

This is about $337\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$, within roughly $1\%$ of the stated $340\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$, so the data are consistent with the accepted value. (R1)

Insight. When the unknown is trapped in a denominator, taking reciprocals is the standard linearising move; it converts $f' = fv/(v - v_s)$ into a clean straight line whose intercept gives $f$ and whose gradient gives $v$. Reading the gradient from the two extreme points (or a best-fit line) averages out scatter far better than dividing a single pair, and the small percentage agreement with $340\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$ is exactly the kind of consistency check examiners want stated explicitly.

(a) 方程及为何非线性 A1·R1

波源接近时 $f' = f\dfrac{v}{v - v_s}$。(A1)

由于 $v_s$ 在分母,$f'$ 是 $v_s$ 的倒数函数而非线性函数,故 $f'$ 对 $v_s$ 的直接作图向上弯曲。(R1)

(b) 线性化 M1·A1·A1

对 $f' = fv/(v - v_s)$ 取倒数:(M1)

$$ \frac{1}{f'} = \frac{v - v_s}{fv} = \frac{v}{fv} - \frac{v_s}{fv} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{v_s}{fv}. $$

这对 $v_s$ 为线性,斜率为 $-\dfrac{1}{fv}$(A1),截距为 $\dfrac{1}{f}$(A1)。

(c) 倒数与斜率 M1·A1·M1·A1

当 $v_s = 10$:$\dfrac{1}{f'} = \dfrac{1}{515} = 1.942\times10^{-3}\ \mathrm{s}$。当 $v_s = 40$:$\dfrac{1}{f'} = \dfrac{1}{567} = 1.764\times10^{-3}\ \mathrm{s}$。(M1·A1)

两点间斜率:(M1)

$$ \text{斜率} = \frac{1.764\times10^{-3} - 1.942\times10^{-3}}{40 - 10} = \frac{-1.78\times10^{-4}}{30} \approx -5.9\times10^{-6}\ \mathrm{s^{2}\,m^{-1}}. $$

(A1)

(d) 由斜率求声速 M1·A1·R1

斜率等于 $-\dfrac{1}{fv}$,故 $v = -\dfrac{1}{f\times\text{斜率}}$:(M1)

$$ v = \frac{-1}{(500)(-5.9\times10^{-6})} = \frac{1}{2.95\times10^{-3}} \approx 3.4\times10^{2}\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}. $$

(A1)

约为 $337\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$,与给定的 $340\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$ 相差约 $1\%$,故数据与公认值一致。(R1)

要点。当未知量被困在分母中,取倒数是标准的线性化手法;它把 $f' = fv/(v - v_s)$ 化为干净的直线,其截距给出 $f$、斜率给出 $v$。用两端点(或最佳拟合直线)读斜率比单组相除更能平均掉散布,而与 $340\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$ 的小百分比一致正是阅卷希望明确陈述的那种一致性检验。

Q8HARDPaper 2HL ONLYsource, observer, combined + derivation波源、观察者、组合与推导[12 marks]

Whistle $660\ \mathrm{Hz}$, $v = 340\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$. (a) source toward cyclist at $30$; (b) cyclist toward stationary whistle at $15$; (c) both toward, $30$ and $15$; (d) derive $f' = fv/(v - v_s)$; (e) would a light source need the source/observer distinction.汽笛 $660\ \mathrm{Hz}$,$v = 340\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$。(a) 波源以 $30$ 朝骑车者;(b) 骑车者以 $15$ 朝静止汽笛;(c) 两者相向,$30$ 与 $15$;(d) 推导 $f' = fv/(v - v_s)$;(e) 光源是否需区分波源/观察者。

Answers:答案:  (a) $f' \approx 724\ \mathrm{Hz}$  ·  (b) $f' \approx 689\ \mathrm{Hz}$  ·  (c) $f' \approx 756\ \mathrm{Hz}$  ·  (d) $\lambda' = (v - v_s)/f \Rightarrow f' = fv/(v - v_s)$  ·  (e) no, light is symmetric否,光是对称的

(a) Source moving toward stationary observer M1·A1

Moving source approaching, minus sign: $f' = f\dfrac{v}{v - v_s}$. (M1)

$$ f' = 660\times\frac{340}{340 - 30} = 660\times\frac{340}{310} \approx 724\ \mathrm{Hz}. $$

(A1)

(b) Observer moving toward stationary source M1·A1

Moving observer approaching, plus sign: $f' = f\dfrac{v + v_o}{v}$. (M1)

$$ f' = 660\times\frac{340 + 15}{340} = 660\times\frac{355}{340} \approx 689\ \mathrm{Hz}. $$

(A1)

(c) Both moving toward each other M1·M1·A1

Combined formula, plus on top (observer approaches), minus on bottom (source approaches): (M1)

$$ f' = f\frac{v + v_o}{v - v_s} = 660\times\frac{340 + 15}{340 - 30}. $$

(M1 for both signs correct)

$$ f' = 660\times\frac{355}{310} \approx 756\ \mathrm{Hz}. $$

(A1)

(d) Deriving the moving-source result M1·M1·A1

In one period $T = 1/f$ the source emits one wavefront and itself advances $v_s T$ toward the observer, so the wavefronts ahead are separated by (M1)

$$ \lambda' = vT - v_s T = (v - v_s)T = \frac{v - v_s}{f}. $$

The observer still measures the wave travelling at speed $v$, so $f' = v/\lambda'$: (M1)

$$ f' = \frac{v}{(v - v_s)/f} = f\,\frac{v}{v - v_s}. $$

(A1)

(e) Would light need the distinction A1·R1

No. Light needs no medium, so there is no preferred rest frame and only the relative velocity is defined. (A1)

A single symmetric formula $\Delta f/f \approx v/c$ then applies whether the source or the observer is taken to move, so the source-versus-observer distinction disappears. (R1)

Insight. The combined sound case must use one fraction with two independently chosen signs, not a product of two separate single-body shifts. The derivation in (d) is the conceptual heart of the unit: what physically changes for a moving source is the wavelength, while the wave speed in the medium is fixed. That single fact explains why $v_s$ lands in the denominator and why sound, unlike light, distinguishes who is moving.

(a) 波源朝静止观察者运动 M1·A1

波源接近,取减号:$f' = f\dfrac{v}{v - v_s}$。(M1)

$$ f' = 660\times\frac{340}{340 - 30} = 660\times\frac{340}{310} \approx 724\ \mathrm{Hz}. $$

(A1)

(b) 观察者朝静止波源运动 M1·A1

观察者接近,取加号:$f' = f\dfrac{v + v_o}{v}$。(M1)

$$ f' = 660\times\frac{340 + 15}{340} = 660\times\frac{355}{340} \approx 689\ \mathrm{Hz}. $$

(A1)

(c) 两者相向运动 M1·M1·A1

组合公式,分子取加(观察者接近),分母取减(波源接近):(M1)

$$ f' = f\frac{v + v_o}{v - v_s} = 660\times\frac{340 + 15}{340 - 30}. $$

(两符号都正确得 M1)

$$ f' = 660\times\frac{355}{310} \approx 756\ \mathrm{Hz}. $$

(A1)

(d) 推导波源运动结果 M1·M1·A1

在一个周期 $T = 1/f$ 内,波源发出一个波前并自身朝观察者前进 $v_s T$,故前方波前的间距为 (M1)

$$ \lambda' = vT - v_s T = (v - v_s)T = \frac{v - v_s}{f}. $$

观察者测得波速仍为 $v$,故 $f' = v/\lambda'$:(M1)

$$ f' = \frac{v}{(v - v_s)/f} = f\,\frac{v}{v - v_s}. $$

(A1)

(e) 光是否需要区分 A1·R1

否。光不需要介质,故无优先静止参考系,只定义相对速度。(A1)

此时单一对称公式 $\Delta f/f \approx v/c$ 适用,无论取波源还是观察者运动,故波源与观察者之分消失。(R1)

要点。组合声波情形必须用一个带两个独立取号的分式,而非两个单体频移的乘积。(d) 的推导是本单元的概念核心:波源运动时物理上改变的是波长,而介质中的波速固定。仅此一点就解释了为何 $v_s$ 落在分母,以及为何声波(不同于光)要区分谁在运动。

Radar $24.0\ \mathrm{GHz}$, return shifted up by $3.6\ \mathrm{kHz}$, $c = 3.00\times10^{8}$. (a) why two shifts, hence $\Delta f/f \approx 2v/c$; (b) car speed in m/s and km/h; (c) ultrasound $2.0\ \mathrm{MHz}$ in tissue $1540\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$, cells at $0.30\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$, find echo shift; (d) consequence of forgetting the factor of 2.雷达 $24.0\ \mathrm{GHz}$,返回升高 $3.6\ \mathrm{kHz}$,$c = 3.00\times10^{8}$。(a) 为何两次频移,故 $\Delta f/f \approx 2v/c$;(b) 车速 m/s 与 km/h;(c) 超声 $2.0\ \mathrm{MHz}$,组织 $1540\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$,细胞 $0.30\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$,求回波频移;(d) 漏掉因子 2 的后果。

Answers:答案:  (a) target acts as moving observer then moving source目标先作运动观察者再作运动波源  ·  (b) $v = 22.5\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}} \approx 81\ \mathrm{km\,h^{-1}}$  ·  (c) $\Delta f \approx 7.8\times10^{2}\ \mathrm{Hz}$  ·  (d) speed overstated by a factor of 2速率被高估 2 倍

(a) Why two Doppler shifts M1·M1·A1

The car first receives the microwaves while moving toward the gun, so it acts as a moving observer and detects a blueshifted frequency. (M1)

It then re-emits (reflects) that already-shifted wave while still moving toward the gun, now acting as a moving source, adding a second shift in the same sense. (M1)

The two shifts add, so to first order the round-trip fractional shift is twice the one-way value: $\dfrac{\Delta f}{f} \approx \dfrac{2v}{c}$. (A1)

(b) Speed of the car M1·A1·A1

Rearrange $\dfrac{\Delta f}{f} \approx \dfrac{2v}{c}$ for $v$: $v \approx \dfrac{c\,\Delta f}{2f}$. (M1)

$$ v = \frac{(3.00\times10^{8})(3.6\times10^{3})}{2(24.0\times10^{9})} = \frac{1.08\times10^{12}}{4.8\times10^{10}} = 22.5\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}. $$

(A1)

Converting: $22.5\times3.6 \approx 81\ \mathrm{km\,h^{-1}}$. (A1)

(c) Ultrasound echo shift M1·A1

Reflection off moving cells gives the double shift $\Delta f \approx \dfrac{2 f v}{v_{\text{sound}}}$: (M1)

$$ \Delta f = \frac{2(2.0\times10^{6})(0.30)}{1540} \approx 7.8\times10^{2}\ \mathrm{Hz}. $$

(A1)

(d) Forgetting the factor of 2 A1·R1

Treating the echo as a single one-way shift uses $\Delta f/f \approx v/c$, which solves to $v = c\,\Delta f/f$, exactly twice the true value. (A1)

The reported speed would be doubled, here $45\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$ instead of $22.5\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$, a serious error for a speed-enforcement device. (R1)

Insight. The factor of 2 is the signature of any bounce-off-a-moving-target measurement: radar guns, Doppler ultrasound, and sonar all share it, while a one-way source (a passing star) does not. Decide first whether the wave is reflected; if it is, the round trip doubles the shift, and solving for speed needs the matching one-half. Carrying the powers of ten carefully through the GHz and kHz keeps the final $22.5\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$ clean.

(a) 为何两次多普勒频移 M1·M1·A1

汽车先在朝雷达运动时接收微波,故作为运动的观察者,检测到蓝移频率。(M1)

随后它在仍朝雷达运动时重新发射(反射)这已频移的波,此时作为运动的波源,沿同一方向叠加第二次频移。(M1)

两次频移相加,故一阶近似下往返的相对频移是单程值的两倍:$\dfrac{\Delta f}{f} \approx \dfrac{2v}{c}$。(A1)

(b) 车速 M1·A1·A1

把 $\dfrac{\Delta f}{f} \approx \dfrac{2v}{c}$ 解出 $v$:$v \approx \dfrac{c\,\Delta f}{2f}$。(M1)

$$ v = \frac{(3.00\times10^{8})(3.6\times10^{3})}{2(24.0\times10^{9})} = \frac{1.08\times10^{12}}{4.8\times10^{10}} = 22.5\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}. $$

(A1)

换算:$22.5\times3.6 \approx 81\ \mathrm{km\,h^{-1}}$。(A1)

(c) 超声回波频移 M1·A1

从运动细胞反射给出双重频移 $\Delta f \approx \dfrac{2 f v}{v_{\text{声}}}$:(M1)

$$ \Delta f = \frac{2(2.0\times10^{6})(0.30)}{1540} \approx 7.8\times10^{2}\ \mathrm{Hz}. $$

(A1)

(d) 漏掉因子 2 的后果 A1·R1

把回波当作单程频移会用 $\Delta f/f \approx v/c$,解得 $v = c\,\Delta f/f$,恰为真实值的两倍。(A1)

报出的速率会翻倍,此处为 $45\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$ 而非 $22.5\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$,对执法测速装置是严重错误。(R1)

要点。因子 2 是任何"从运动目标反射"测量的标志:雷达枪、多普勒超声与声呐都有它,而单程波源(驶过的恒星)没有。先判断波是否被反射;若是,往返使频移加倍,求速度需配上对应的二分之一。仔细处理 GHz 与 kHz 的数量级,最终的 $22.5\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$ 才会干净。
Q10HARDPaper 2astronomical Doppler & expansion天文多普勒与膨胀[8 marks]

Calcium line rest $397.0\ \mathrm{nm}$, observed $405.0\ \mathrm{nm}$, $c = 3.00\times10^{8}$. (a) shift and direction; (b) radial speed and fraction of $c$; (c) how many galaxies evidence expansion; (d) why $v$ from $c\Delta\lambda/\lambda$ needs caution for very distant galaxies.钙线静止 $397.0\ \mathrm{nm}$,观测 $405.0\ \mathrm{nm}$,$c = 3.00\times10^{8}$。(a) 移动与方向;(b) 径向速率与 $c$ 的分数;(c) 多星系如何证明膨胀;(d) 为何对极远星系 $c\Delta\lambda/\lambda$ 求 $v$ 需谨慎。

Answers:答案:  (a) $\Delta\lambda = +8.0\ \mathrm{nm}$, receding  ·  (b) $v \approx 6.0\times10^{6}\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}} \approx 0.020c$  ·  (c) speed rises with distance速度随距离增大  ·  (d) formula is the $v \ll c$ limit公式是 $v \ll c$ 极限

(a) Shift and direction A1·A1

$\Delta\lambda = 405.0 - 397.0 = +8.0\ \mathrm{nm}$. (A1)

The wavelength has increased ($\Delta\lambda > 0$), a redshift, so the galaxy is receding. (A1)

(b) Radial speed M1·A1·A1

Use $v \approx c\,\dfrac{\Delta\lambda}{\lambda}$ with $\lambda = 397.0\ \mathrm{nm}$: (M1)

$$ v = (3.00\times10^{8})\times\frac{8.0}{397.0} \approx 6.0\times10^{6}\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}. $$

(A1)

As a fraction of $c$: $\dfrac{v}{c} = \dfrac{8.0}{397.0} \approx 0.020$, about $2\%$ of $c$. (A1)

(c) Evidence for expansion B1·B1

Measuring many galaxies shows almost all are redshifted, so almost all are receding from us. (B1)

The more distant the galaxy, the greater its redshift and hence recession speed; this systematic increase of speed with distance is the evidence that the universe is expanding. (B1)

(d) Why caution for distant galaxies R1

The formula $v \approx c\,\Delta\lambda/\lambda$ is the non-relativistic $v \ll c$ limit; for very distant galaxies the recession speed approaches $c$, so the simple formula breaks down and the redshift is better understood as the stretching of space itself. (R1)

Insight. Reporting the speed as a fraction of $c$ is the quickest sanity check: at $0.02c$ the low-speed formula is safe, but a shift giving $0.3c$ or more should trigger the caveat that the relativistic treatment is needed. Cosmological redshift is strictly the expansion of space, not motion through space, so quoting a "recession speed" is a useful approximation only while $v \ll c$.

(a) 移动与方向 A1·A1

$\Delta\lambda = 405.0 - 397.0 = +8.0\ \mathrm{nm}$。(A1)

波长增大($\Delta\lambda > 0$),为红移,故星系正在远离。(A1)

(b) 径向速率 M1·A1·A1

用 $v \approx c\,\dfrac{\Delta\lambda}{\lambda}$,$\lambda = 397.0\ \mathrm{nm}$:(M1)

$$ v = (3.00\times10^{8})\times\frac{8.0}{397.0} \approx 6.0\times10^{6}\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}. $$

(A1)

以 $c$ 的分数表示:$\dfrac{v}{c} = \dfrac{8.0}{397.0} \approx 0.020$,约为 $c$ 的 $2\%$。(A1)

(c) 膨胀的证据 B1·B1

测量许多星系显示几乎全部红移,故几乎全部都在远离我们。(B1)

星系越远,红移越大、退行速度越快;速度随距离系统性增大正是宇宙膨胀的证据。(B1)

(d) 为何对遥远星系需谨慎 R1

公式 $v \approx c\,\Delta\lambda/\lambda$ 是非相对论的 $v \ll c$ 极限;对极遥远星系退行速度接近 $c$,简单公式失效,红移更应理解为空间本身的拉伸。(R1)

要点。把速度写成 $c$ 的分数是最快的合理性检验:在 $0.02c$ 时低速公式安全,但若频移给出 $0.3c$ 或更大,就应提示需用相对论处理。宇宙学红移严格来说是空间的膨胀,而非穿越空间的运动,故只有在 $v \ll c$ 时引用"退行速度"才是有用的近似。
