Quasar

Quasar

Quasars have large red shifts, indicative of great distance from the earth, but have variability with periods of weeks or months which indicate that they are small. Their size is on the order of ...

Doppler Physlet

Doppler Physlet

Vary the velocity and notice the wavelength shift ahead of and behind the source. A shock wave, i.e., sonic boom, can be seen to form if the speed of the source is comparable to the phase velocity.
