To find the speed at which a galaxy should move with respect to us so that the sodium line at 589.0 nm is observed at 589.6 nm, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the given values - The original wavelength of sodium light, \(\lambda_0 = 589.0 \, \text{nm}\) - The observed wavelength, \(\lambda = 589.6 \, \text{nm}\) ### Step 2: Calculate the change in wavelength The change in wavelength (\(\Delta \lambda\)) can be calculated as: ...
