Light from the constellation Virgo is observed to increase in wavelength by $0.4\%$. With respect to Earth,the constellation is:

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:

$A$ rocket is moving towards the moon with a speed $v$. The astronaut in the rocket sends signals of frequency $f$ towards the moon and receives them back after reflection from the moon. What will be the frequency of the signal received by the astronaut? (Assume $v << c$)
