A star emiting light of wavelength 4500Å is moving towards the eart with a speed of 3600 km/sec. Determine the wavelength shift and apparent wavelength due to Doppler effect. The speed of light is 3xx10^(8)m//s

Answer»

SOLUTION :DATA supplied
`v=3.6xx10^(6)m//s, "" lamda=4500xx10^(-10)m""c=3xx10^(8)m//s`
`DELTA lamda=(v lamda)/c` and `Delta lamda=-lamda-lamda.` or `lamda.-lamda`
`:.Delta lamda=(3.6xx10^(6)xx4500xx10^(-10))/(3xx10^(8))=54.00xx10^(-10)m=54Å`
The apparent WAVELENGTH `lamda.= Delta -Delta lamda=4446Å`
