Star #1 is approaching the Earth with speed v. Star #2 is receding from the Earth with the same speed v. Measurements of the same spectral line from each of the stars show Doppler shifts in frequency. The light from which star will have the larger magnitude shift in frequency? a. star #1 b. Both stars will have the same shift. c. The value of the speed must be known before an answer can be found. d. star #2

b. Both stars will have the same shift.

Explanation:

It's a very simple problem to solve. Star 1 is approaching toward Earth with a speed v, so let's assume that the change in Doppler Shift is +F and Star 2 is moving away so the change in Doppler shift is -F. But it's time to notice the speed of both stars and that is same but only directions are different. speed is the main factor here. The magnitude of both shifts is F as we can see and + and - are showing there direction of motion. So, because of same amount of speed, both stars will have same shift magnitude. (Just the directions are different)

so easy. just google the electromagnetic waves and it’ll pop up.
