A photon of blue light λ = 480 nm
A photon of energy E = 40 keV
A hydrogen atom on the surface of the sun radiates a photon with wavelength 1800 nm.
The sun has a radius, Tsun = 6.96 × 108 m, and a mass, Msun = 1.99 × 10³⁰ kg.
(a) Calculate the change in wavelength when the photon is observed a long way -
effectively at an infinite distance from the sun (or any other massive object).
(b) How fast and in what direction would the observer have to move in order to cancel
this change in wavelength?
