In the spectrum of light of a luminous heavenly body,the wavelength of a spectral line is measured to be $4747 \ \mathring{A}$,while the actual wavelength of the line is $4700 \ \mathring{A}$. The relative velocity of the heavenly body with respect to the Earth will be (velocity of light is $3 \times 10^8 \ m/s$).

$A$ spectral line $\lambda = 5000\ \mathring A$ in the light coming from a distant star is observed as $5200\ \mathring A$. What will be the recession velocity of the star?
