    A star emitting alight of wavelength 5000\[\overset{0}{\mathop{A}}\,\]moves away from the earth with a speed of 6 km/s. The shift in wavelength due to Dopplers effect will be:

    A)  10 \[\overset{0}{\mathop{A}}\,\]                                           

    B)  1\[\overset{0}{\mathop{A}}\,\]

    C)  0.1\[\overset{0}{\mathop{A}}\,\]                                          

    D)  0.01\[\overset{0}{\mathop{A}}\,\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                                                                                         Using the relation, \[n=\frac{\upsilon }{\upsilon +{{\upsilon }_{s}}}\times n\] or  \[\frac{c}{\lambda }=\frac{\upsilon }{\upsilon +{{\upsilon }_{s}}}\times \frac{c}{\lambda }\] or  \[\lambda =\frac{\upsilon +{{\upsilon }_{s}}}{\upsilon }\times \lambda =\lambda +\frac{{{\upsilon }_{s}}}{\upsilon }\times \lambda \] Change in wavelength is \[\lambda -\lambda =\frac{{{\upsilon }_{s}}}{\upsilon }\times \lambda \] \[=\frac{6\times {{10}^{3}}\times 5000\times {{10}^{-10}}}{3\times {{10}^{8}}}=0.1\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]
