At what speed should a galaxy move with respect to earth so that spectral line of \( 600.0 \text{ nm} \) appears as \( 600.6 \text{ nm} \) ?

  1. A \( 3 \times 10^6 \text{ m s}^{-1} \)
  2. B \( 3 \times 10^5 \text{ m s}^{-1} \)
  3. C \( 5 \times 10^6 \text{ m s}^{-1} \)
  4. D \( 5 \times 10^5 \text{ m s}^{-1} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \( 3 \times 10^5 \text{ m s}^{-1} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( v = c \frac{\Delta\lambda}{\lambda_0} = (3 \times 10^8 \text{ m s}^{-1}) \frac{600.6 \text{ nm} - 600.0 \text{ nm}}{600.0 \text{ nm}} = 3 \times 10^5 \text{ m s}^{-1} \)
