Homework Statement
A spaceship is moving at 0.75 c (0.75 times the speed of light) with respect to the earth. An observer on the spaceship measures the time interval between two events on Earth as 38 hrs. If the spaceship had been moving with a speed of 0.92 c with...
so Fobserver is 1300000Hz, Vsource is .38m/s, and Vobserver is 1540 m/s?
so i would do 1300000=Fsource (345 + 1540/345-.38)
take this # and subtrack by 1300000?
