A star moves away from the earh at a speed of 0.8 c whileemitting light of frequency6 xx 10^(14) Hz . Whatfrequency will be observed on the earth ( in unitsof10^(14)Hz) ? ( c=speed of light )

Answer»

0.24
1.2
30
3.3

Solution :APPARENT (observed) frequency, `v'=v(1-(v)/(c))`
`:. v'=6 XX 10^(14)(1-(0.8c)/(c))`
`=6 xx 10^(14) xx 0.2 =1.2 xx 10^(14) Hz `
`:.` In units of `10^(14) Hz `, v'=1.2
