Keely Mosley · Answer 1

The answer is 735 Nanometer

Explanation:

Solution to this problem

Given that:

Solution)

The Redshift is categorized by the difference related between wavelength (emitted) and wavelength (observer).

Now,

The wavelength can be computed as:

1+z=/lambda (observer) / div / lambda (emitted)

hence,

1 + 0.05 = λ (observer) / 700 nm

Gives

= 1.05*700 = 735 nm

Therefore, The wavelength from that source for an observer would be 735 nanometer
