Concept explainers
To identify: Whether the object is approaching or receding.
To find: The speed of the object.
Answer to Problem 9STP
The object is approaching with speed
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Position of spectral line,
Formula used:
Using Doppler shift formula,
Where,
Calculation:
Difference between the actual and observed wavelength is:
Since the difference is negative. Therefore, the object is approaching the source.
Speed of the object can be calculated as:
Conclusion:
The object with velocity
