The Doppler effect in sound,in addition to the relative velocity between the source and the observer,also depends on the individual motion of the source and the observer relative to the medium. However,the Doppler effect in light depends only on the relative velocity between the source and the observer. The reason for this is:

$A$ star emits light of $5500 \ \mathring{A}$ wavelength. If it appears blue to an observer on the Earth,it means:

$A$ star is moving away from the Earth with a velocity of $100 \ km/s$. If the velocity of light is $3 \times 10^8 \ m/s$,then the shift of its spectral line of wavelength $5700 \ \mathring{A}$ due to the Doppler effect will be ..... $\mathring{A}$.

$A$ star moves away from the Earth at a speed of $0.8\,c$ while emitting light of frequency $6 \times 10^{14} \,Hz$. What frequency will be observed on the Earth? ($c =$ speed of light)

$A$ star emitting light of wavelength $5896 \ \mathring{A}$ is moving away from the earth with a speed of $3600 \ km/s$. The wavelength of light observed on earth will be:
($c = 3 \times 10^8 \ m/s$ is the speed of light)
