Physics

A distant galaxy is simultaneously rotating and receding fromthe earth. As the drawing shows, the galactic center is recedingfrom the earth at a relative speed of uG = 2.00 × 106 m/s. Relativeto the center, the tangential speed is vT = 0.380 × 106 m/s forlocations A and B, which are equidistant from the center. When thefrequencies of the light coming from regions A and B are measuredon earth, they are not the same and each is different from theemitted frequency of 5.077 × 1014 Hz. Find the measured frequencyfor the light from (a) region A and (b) region B. (Give your answerto 4 significant digits. Use 2.998 × 108 m/s as the speed oflight.)
