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` ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to determine the speed at which a galaxy must move away from us so that the sodium line originally at a wavelength of \( 589.0 \, \text{nm} \) is observed at a wavelength of \( 589.6 \, \text{nm} \). We will use the formula for the Doppler effect for light, which relates the change in wavelength to the velocity of the source. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Values:** - Original wavelength (\( \lambda_0 \)): \( 589.0 \, \text{nm} \) - Observed wavelength (\( \lambda \)): \( 589.6 \, \text{nm} \) - Change in wavelength (\( \Delta \lambda \)): ...

Astronomers have observed that light coming from far away starts do not show the same spectrum as observed on Earth. Each wavelength is shifted slightly towards the red end of the spectrum. It is observed that the 1^(st) line of Lyman series shows 121 nm on Earth, but from the star it shows 122nm. The speed of the star with respect to Earth is close to
