Chapter 11, Problem 11A.6E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The speed of recession and surface temperature of the star has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Speed of recession can be calculated using the formula given below.

λ'-λλ=vc

Where,

    λ'=dopplershiftedwavelengthλ=wavelengthemittedv=velocityofstarwithrespecttheobserveronearthc=velocityoflight

The surface temperature of the star can be calculated using Wien’s law, because a star can be considered as a black body.  And the equation for the law is given below.

λmax=bT

Given,

    λmax=wavelengthb=Wien'sdisplacementconstantT=temperatureinKelvinscale
