JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 10. Wave optics

With what speed should a galaxy move outward with respect to earth so that the sodium-D line at wavelength \(5890\) \(\stackrel{\circ}{{A}}\) is observed at \(5896\) \(\stackrel{\circ}{{A}}\) ? (in \({km} / {sec}\))

  1. A \(336\)
  2. B \(296\)
  3. C \(306\)
  4. D \(322\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(306\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{\Delta \lambda }{\lambda }=\frac{v}{c}\) \(v=6 \times \frac{3\times 10^8}{5890}=305.06\, {km} / {s}\)
