DopplerShift:TheHb(hydrogenbeta)line,whichisstronginthespectraof moderately hot stars, has a wavelength of 486.133 nm in the laboratory (i.e., at rest with respect to the observer). What wavelength (nm) would we observe the Hb line on Earth if it were emitted by a star: a) moving at a speed of 200 km/s toward Earth? b) moving at a speed of 300 km/s away from Earth?

How fast (as a percentage of light speed) would a star have to be moving so that the frequency of the light we receive from it is 14.0 % higher than the frequency of the light it is emitting? Would it be moving away from us or toward us? (Assume it is moving either directly away from us or directly toward us.)
