Question

how do i answer this? Could you write down each step

2. Radiation from a distant neutron star is found by a satellite far from Earth to have wavelength
λ = 3 nm.
a) What is the ratio X/X, where X is the difference with respect to the measurement by a
detector on the surface of the Earth? The Schwarzschild radius of the Earth is 8.7 mm, while its
actual radius is 6.4 × 106 m.
b) What is the ratio d'X/X, where 'X is the difference with respect to the wavelength of the
same radiation at the time of emission from the neutron star's surface? Assume that the neutron
star's actual radius is three times its (typically 4 km) Schwarzschild radius.
