The Doppler effect is applicable for

The apparent wavelength of the light from a star moving away from the Earth is $0.01\%$ more than its real wavelength. Then the velocity of the star is......$km/sec$.

The periodic time of rotation of a certain star is $22$ days and its radius is $7 \times 10^8 \ m$. If the wavelength of light emitted by its surface is $4320 \ \mathring{A}$, the Doppler shift will be $(1 \ day = 86400 \ s)$
