Transcribed Image Text: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.)
