Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(3.13 \times 10^{5} \; ms ^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\lambda_{\text {emitted }}=670 \; nm\)

\(\lambda_{\text {obs }}=670.7 \; nm\)

\(v =?\)

\(c =3 \times 10^{8} \; m / s\)

If \(v << c\)

\(\frac{\lambda_{\text {obs }}-\lambda_{\text {emitted }}}{\lambda_{\text {emiited }}}=\frac{ v }{ c }\)

\(\frac{670.7-670}{670}=\frac{ v }{ c }\)

\(V =3.13 \times 10^{5} \; m / s\)
