As we know by Doppler's effect of light we have

\frac{\Delta \lambda}{\lambda} = \frac{v}{c}

here we will have

[tex}\frac{398.1 nm - 396.9 nm}{398.1 nm} = \frac{v}{c}[/tex]

here by solving above we have

3.01 \times 10^{-3} = \frac{v}{c}

here we have

v = 904.3 km/s

since wavelength is increased so we can say that it is moving away

so correct answer is

1- 904.3 km/s away from the Earth

A car travelling 95 km/h is 210 behind a truck travelling 75 km/h. how long will it take the care to reach the truck
masya89 [10]
<span>37.8 seconds First, determine the speed difference between the car and truck. 95 km/h - 75 km/h = 20 km/h Convert that speed into m/s to make a more convenient unit of measure. 20 km/h * 1000 m/km / 3600 s/h = 5.556 m/s Now it's simply a matter of dividing the distance between the two vehicles and their relative speed. 210 m / 5.556 m/s = 37.8 s So it will take 37.8 seconds for the car to catch the truck that's 210 meters in front of the car.</span>
