Randall D. Knight β Traveling Waves: Problem 78
A starship approaches its home planet at a speed of 0.10c. When it is \(54 \times 10^6 \text{ km}\) away, it uses its green laser beam (\(\lambda = 540 \text{ nm}\)) to signal its approach. a. How long does the signal take to travel to the home planet? b. At what wavelength is the signal detected on the home planet?
