Hubble showed that the universe as a whole is expanding and the distant stars are receding from us. The spectral line from a star,when compared with the corresponding line from a stationary source,will then show:

The $6563 \ \mathring{A}$ line emitted by a hydrogen atom in a star is found to be red-shifted by $5 \ \mathring{A}$. The speed with which the star is receding from the Earth is:

$A$ star emitting radiation at a wavelength of $5000 \; \mathring{A}$ is approaching Earth with a velocity of $1.5 \times 10^6 \; m/s$. The change in wavelength of the radiation as received on Earth is ....... $\mathring{A}$.

$A$ star is moving towards the earth with a speed of $4.5 \times 10^6 \ m/s$. If the true wavelength of a certain line in the spectrum received from the star is $5890 \ \mathring A$,its apparent wavelength will be about........$\mathring A$ $[c = 3 \times 10^8 \ m/s]$

For sound waves,the Doppler formula for frequency shift differs slightly between the two situations:
$(i)$ source at rest; observer moving,and
$(ii)$ source moving; observer at rest.
The exact Doppler formulas for the case of light waves in vacuum are,however,strictly identical for these situations. Explain why this should be so. Would you expect the formulas to be strictly identical for the two situations in case of light travelling in a medium?
