If you detected radio signals with an average wavelength of 37 cm and suspected that they came from a civilization on a distant Earth-like exoplanet, roughly how much of a change in wavelength (in cm) should you expect to
detect as a result of the orbital motion of the distant exoplanet? (Hint: Use the Doppler shift formula.) (Note: Earth's orbital velocity is 30 km/s.)

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

Average wavelength is  λa=37cm=0.37m

 Earth's orbital velocity is v=30km/s

v=30*103 m/s
