Answer:

3.149×10^7 m/s

Explanation:

the frequency is shifted to lower value hence the star is receding the Earth.

[tex]f=f_0\sqrt{\frac{1-\beta}{1+\beta} }[/tex]................1

f= 0.9 f_0

putting the value in 1 we get

[tex]0.9f_0=f_0\sqrt{\frac{1-\beta}{1+\beta} }[/tex].

[tex]0.9=\sqrt{\frac{1-\beta}{1+\beta} }[/tex].

on solving we get

β= 0.1049

now

[tex]\frac{v}{c} = \beta[/tex]

v= 0.1049×3×10^8= 3.149×10^7 m/s
