Due to the Doppler effect,the shift in wavelength observed is $0.1\;\mathring{A}$,for a star producing a wavelength of $6000\;\mathring{A}$. The velocity of recession of the star will be ....... $km/s$.

Write the formula for the Doppler shift for light.

The Doppler effect in sound,in addition to the relative velocity between the source and the observer,also depends on the individual motion of the source and the observer relative to the medium. However,the Doppler effect in light depends only on the relative velocity between the source and the observer. The reason for this is:

For a specific wavelength $670 \; nm$ of light coming from a galaxy moving with velocity $v$,the observed wavelength is $670.7 \; nm$. The value of $v$ is ............

If a star emitting light of wavelength $5000\,\mathring{A}$ is moving towards Earth with a velocity of $1.5 \times 10^6\,\text{m/s}$,then the shift in the wavelength due to Doppler's effect will be......$\mathring{A}$
