Relativistic Doppler Effect
Light from an astronomical source is found to be shifted to a one percent lower frequency than had the source been at rest. What radial velocity could cause such a shift?
$F s/F0 = \sqrt{(1-\beta)/(1+\beta)}$
where $\beta = v/c$
$F s= 99%*F0 =0.99*F0$
$(1-\beta)/(1+\beta) =0.9801$
$1- \beta = 0.9801 +0.9801*\beta$
$0.0199 =1.9801*beta$
$\beta =0.010049997$
$V = c*\beta$
$V = 3.015*10^6$ m/s
The shift is toward lower frequencies (red shift), it means the source is moving away from the observer.
Correct answer is B)
