Suppose you send a probe to land on Mercury, and the probe transmits radio signals to Earth at a wavelength of 10.0000 cm. You listen for the probe when Mercury is moving away from Earth at its full orbital velocity of 48 km/s around the Sun. What wavelength would have to tune your radio telescope to detect that signal?
