  • question_answer
    The\[6563\,\,{AA}\]line emitted by hydrogen atom in a star is found to be red shifted by\[5\,\,{AA}\]. The speed with which the star is receding from the earth is                                                          [Pb. PMT 2002]

    A) 17.29 - 109 m/s                   

    B) 4.29 - 107 m/s 

    C) 3.39 - 105 m/s                      

    D) 2.29 - 105 m/s

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[\frac{\Delta \lambda }{\lambda }=\frac{v}{c}\Rightarrow v=\frac{\Delta \lambda }{\lambda }.c\]\[=\frac{5}{6563}\times (3\times {{10}^{8}})=2.29\times {{10}^{5}}\]m/sec
