The observed wavelength of light coming from a distant galaxy is found to be increased by $0.5 \%$ as compared with that coming from a terrestrial source. The galaxy is,


Important Questions on Wave Theory of Light
A star producing light of wavelength moves away from the earth with a speed of . Due to Doppler effect, the shift in wavelength will be, ,

A rocket is moving away from the earth at a speed of . The rocket has blue light in it. What will be the wavelength of light recorded by an observer on the earth? (Wavelength of blue light.)

A spectral line $\lambda=5000$ in the light coming from a distant star is observed as . What will be recession velocity of the star?

A star moves away from earth at speed while emitting light of frequency . What frequency will be observed on the earth in units of speed of light)


If the shift of wavelength of light emitted by a star is towards violet, then this shows that star is,

A star is moving away from the earth with a velocity of . If the velocity of light is , then the shift of its spectral line of wavelength due to Doppler effect will be,

The velocity of a moving galaxy is and the apparent change in wavelength of a spectral line emitted from the galaxy is observed as . Then, the actual wavelength of the spectral line is,
