What speed should a galaxy move with respect to us so that the sodium line at `589.0 nm` is observed at `589.6 nm` ?

Answer» `(Delta lambda)/(lambda) = (V)/(C )` ,
`V= +c((0.6)/(589.0))=3xx10^(8) ((0.6)/(589.0))= +3.06xx10^(5) ms^(-1)`
Therefore. the galaxy is moving away forms us with speed `306 km//s`.
