A star is moving towards the earth with a speed of 4.5 xx 10^(6) m/s.If the true wavelength of a certain line in the spectrum received from the star is 5890 Å, its apparent wavelength will be about [ c = 3 xx 10^(5) m/s].

Answer»

`5890 Å`
`5978 Å`
`5802 Å`
`5896 Å`

Solution :`lambda. = lambda(1 -(V)/(c)) = 5890 (1 - (4.5 xx 10^(6)))/(3 xx 10^(8)) approx 5802 Å`
