The wavelength of light coming from a distant galaxy is found to be `0.5%` more than that coming from a source on earth. Calculate the velocity of galaxy.

Answer» `(Delta lambda)/(lambda) = (v)/(c )`
`(Delta lambda)/(lambda) - (0.5)/(100) = 5 xx 10^(-3)`
`v = (Delta lambda)/(lambda) c = 5 xx 10^(-3) xx 3 xx 10^(8)`
`= 15 xx 10^(5) m//s`
