Homework Statement
A galaxy is moving away from the Earth at a speed of [tex]2.3\times 10^7 m/s^1[/tex]. Hydrogen emits light of wavelength 410nm. The speed of light is [tex]3.0\times 10^8 m/s^1[/tex] Calculate th frequency of hydrogen light emission that you would expect to measure on earth.
Homework Equations
I'm not really sure! I would have thought judging by what I have done previous to this.
[tex]V=f\lambda[/tex]
[tex] \frac{\Delta f}{f} = \frac {v}{c}[/tex]
The Attempt at a Solution
I really can't think of anything, I would have thought there were 2 steps to it. Possibly the first equation to find the frequency of Hygrogen? I'm really stuck
Help would be great
