Question
A distant galaxy is simultaneously rotating and receding from the earth. As the
drawing shows, the galactic center is receding from the earth at a relative speed of
UG = 1.30 × 106 m/s. Relative to the center, the tangential speed is
X
VT = 0.480 × 106 m/s for locations A and B, which are equidistant from the center.
When the frequencies of the light coming from regions A and B are measured on
earth, they are not the same and each is different from the emitted frequency of
6.737 x 10¹4 Hz. Find the measured frequency for the light from (a) region A and (b)
region B. (Give your answer to 4 significant digits. Use 2.998 × 108 m/s as the speed
of light.)
