The Doppler Formula States That the Ratio of the Velocity

question 38

Short Answer

The Doppler formula states that the ratio of the velocity of a source to the speed of light is equal to the ratio of the change in wavelength caused by the Doppler shift to the source wavelength, or γ/ c  = Δλ/λ. 
A spacecraft has yellow headlights which radiate 600-nm photons, and is travelling toward a stationary observer. If the spacecraft is travelling at a velocity of 1% of the speed of light (0.01 c ) , what will be the amount of the shift in wavelength observed (in nanometers) ?
