Consider a spiral galaxy that is moving directly away from Earth with a speed V = 3.040×105 m/s at its center, as shown in the figure(Figure 1). The galaxy is also rotating about its center, so that points in its spiral arms are moving with a speed v = 6.650×105 m/s relative to the center. If light with a frequency of 8.213×1014 Hz is emitted in both arms of the galaxy, what frequency is detected by astronomers observing the arm...
