While emitting light of proper frequency f₀, a source moves to the right with speed c/4 relative to reference frame S. A detector, to the left of the source, measures the frequency to be f, which is greater than f₀. This means: A) the detector is moving to the right with a speed that is greater than c/4 relative to S B) the detector is moving to the right with a speed that is less than c/4 relative to S C) the detector is moving to the left with a speed that is greater than c/4 relative to S D) the detector is moving to the left with a speed that is less than c/4 relative to S E) the detector is not moving

The Answer of While emitting light of proper frequency f₀, a source moves to the right with speed c/4 relative to reference frame S. A detector, to the left of the source, measures the frequency to be f, which is greater than f₀. This means: A) the detector is moving to the right with a speed that is greater than c/4 relative to S B) the detector is moving to the right with a speed that is less than c/4 relative to S C) the detector is moving to the left with a speed that is greater than c/4 relative to S D) the detector is moving to the left with a speed that is less than c/4 relative to S E) the detector is not moving
