A galaxy moves with respect to the earth, so that sodium line of \(589.0 \mathrm{~nm}\) is observed at \(589.6 \mathrm{~nm}\). The speed of the galaxy is
- A \(300 \mathrm{kms}^{-1}\)
- B \(306 \mathrm{kms}^{-1}\)
- C \(400 \mathrm{kms}^{-1}\)
- D \(406 \mathrm{kms}^{-1}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(306 \mathrm{kms}^{-1}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Given, wavelength of sodium line, \[ \lambda=589.0 \mathrm{~nm}=5.89 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~m} \] Observed wavelength, \[ \lambda^{\prime}=589.6 \mathrm{~nm}=5.896 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~m} \] \(\therefore\) Change in wavelength,…
