    Less than 1 m

    Explanation:

    When objects are getting closer to each other there is a slight change in the wavelength that is being transmitted by either objects. This is known as the blue shift of waves. Here, the wavelength reduces.

    In the opposite case the when objects are getting farther from each other there is a slight change in the wavelength that is being transmitted by either objects. This is known as the red shift. Here, the wavelength increases.

    In this case the spaceship is getting close to Earth hence the wavelength will be lower than 1 m.
