A police radar gun uses X-band microwave radiation at a frequency of 12.2 GHz. Microwaves travel at the speed of light, or 3x108 m/s. Since the frequency shift will be small for practical car speeds and difficult to detect, the shifted frequency is compared to the original frequency, and the resulting beat frequency is used to determine the speed of the car. Prof Chesnutt is driving down the road, and her speed is measured by a friendly officer of the law sitting by the side of the road.

what is the resulting beat frequency that the radar gun detects?
