What is the observed wavelength of the 656.3 nm (first Balmer) line of hydrogen emitted by a galaxy at a distance of 2.40 x 108 ly

λ = 667.85 nm

Explanation:

Let f be the frequency detected by the observer

Let v be the speed at which the observer is moving.

Now, when the direction at which the observer is moving is away from the source, we have the frequency as;

f = f_o√((1 - β)/(1 + β))

From wave equations, we know that the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency. Thus, wavelength is now;

λ = λ_o√((1 + β)/(1 - β))

Where, β = Hr/c

H is hubbles constant which has a value of 0.0218 m/s • ly

c is speed of light = 3 × 10^(8) m/s

r is given as 2.40 x 10^(8) ly

Thus,

β = (0.0218 × 2.4 x 10^(8))/(3 × 10^(8))

β = 0.01744

Since we are given λ_o = 656.3 nm

Then;

λ = 656.3√((1 + 0.01744)/(1 - 0.01744))

λ = 667.85 nm

this is an example of "committed" time.

committed time, as contracted time, takes need over essential and available time since it is seen as profitable work. it alludes to the time allotted to keep up a home and family. at the point when a man is commuting using committed time this individual may feel that the drive is an obligation to family, for example, strolling youngsters to class or driving a mate to work. contracted and committed time clients may feel that their commute could really compare to the commute of important or leisure time clients on the grounds that their commute is profitable work. in this manner, they might be more disposed to pick a mechanized method of movement.
