Speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Time to make the trip = 494 sec

Distance = (speed) x (time)

Distance = (3 x 10⁸ m/s) x (494 s)

Distance = 1,482 x 10⁸ meters

<em>Distance = 1.482 x 10¹¹  meters</em>

Distance = 1.482 x 10⁸  kilometers

nignag [31]

Answer:

speed of star is  1.37 × 10^{5} m/s

it is approaching to earth because wavelength of star is decreasing than rest

if emit same wavelength it does not move anywhere

it will remain steady condition with respect earth

Explanation:

given data

wavelength = 656.5 nm

rest wavelength = 656.8 nm

to find out

the speed of the star , is it approaching

solution

we know here equation that is

wavelength shift / wavelength at rest  = velocity of source / speed of light

so put all value and find

velocity of source = 3 × 10^{-9} × 3 × 10^{8} / 656.8 × 10^{-9}

velocity of source star = 1.37 × 10^{5} m/s

and

it is approaching to earth because wavelength of star is decreasing than rest

and

if emit same wavelength it does not move anywhere

it will remain steady condition with respect earth
