A distant galaxy emits light that has a wavelength of 620 nm. On
Earth, the wavelength of this light is measured to be 623 nm.
a. Is this galaxy approaching or receding from the earth?
b. Find the speed of the galaxy relative to earth.
c. If this galaxy also emits another EM wave whose wavelength is
1025nm, what wavelength would we expect to measure on Earth for
this wave?

In
the laboratory, an atom emits a spectral line at a wavelength of
400 nanometers. In the spectrum of a star, the same spectral line
is found to have a wavelength of 410 nanometers. What can be said
about the star?

Stars and galaxies in the distance universe are receding from us
with a speed proportional to their distance away, v = Hr, where H ≈
73 m/s/Mpc is the Hubble constant. (a) What is the value of H in SI
units? SR units? (Mpc = Mega parsec.) (b) Because they are receding
from us, light received from distant stars will be red-shifted. It
is common to define the dimensionless red-shift parameter z as λ/λ0
≡ 1 + z. There is...
