MCQ
Due to Doppler effect, the shift in wavelength observed is $0.1\;\mathring A $, for a star producing a wavelength $6000\;\mathring A $. The velocity of recession of the star will be ....... $km/sec$
  • A
    $2.5$
  • B
    $10$
  • $5 $
  • D
    $20 $

Answer

Correct option: C.
$5 $
c
$\frac{\Delta \lambda}{\lambda}=\frac{v}{c}$

$\frac{0.1}{6000}=\frac{v}{3 \times 10^{8}}$

$v=5\; km / s$
