Assuming that the universe is expanding,if the spectrum of light coming from a star which is moving away from the Earth is tested,then in the wavelength of light:

The Doppler effect is applicable for

The apparent wavelength of light from a star moving away from the earth is $0.02 \%$ more than the actual wavelength. The velocity of the star is $[c = 3 \times 10^8 \ m/s]$. (in $km/s$)

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 $3 \times 10^8 \ m/s$).
