Suppose a galaxy is moving away from the Earth at a speed 0.825c. It emits radio waves

Question:

Suppose a galaxy is moving away from the Earth at a speed 0.825c. It emits radio waves with a wavelength of 0.525 m. What wavelength would we detect on the Earth?


Strategy
Because the galaxy is moving at a relativistic speed, we must determine the Doppler shift of the radio waves using the relativistic Doppler shift instead of the classical Doppler shift.
