If a star is moving towards Earth, shift towards the blue end of the spectrum, this is called blue shift. If the star is moving away from Earth the light from that star will be red and is called red shift .

The faster a star moves towards the earth, the more its light is shifted to higher frequencies. In contrast, if a star is moving away from the earth, its light is shifted to lower frequencies on the color spectrum

if a star is moving towards Earth, it appears to emit light that is shorter in wavelength compared to a source of light that isn't moving. Because shorter wavelengths correspond to a shift towards the blue end of the spectrum, this is called blue shift.

If the star is moving away from Earth, its light will lose energy to reach Earth, therefore the light from that star will be red and is called red shift

Answer:

$2.77287\times 10^{15}\ m$

Explanation:

P = Power = 50 kW

n = Number of photons per second

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\times 10^{-34}\ m^2kg/s$

$\nu$ = Frequency = 781 kHz

r = Distance at which the photon intensity is i = 1 photon/m²

Power is given by

$P=nh\nu\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{P}{h\nu}\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{50000}{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 781000}\\\Rightarrow n=9.66201\times 10^{31}\ photons/s$

Photon intensity is given by

$i=\dfrac{n}{4\pi r^2}\\\Rightarrow 1=\dfrac{9.66201\times 10^{31}}{4\pi r^2}\\\Rightarrow r=\sqrt{\dfrac{9.66201\times 10^{31}}{4\pi}}\\\Rightarrow r=2.77287\times 10^{15}\ m$
