A distant galaxy is simultaneously rotating and receding from the earth. As the drawing shows, the galactic center is receding from the earth at a relative speed of UG = 2.2000 x 10 m/s. Relative to the center, the tangential speed is VT = 0.5800 x 10 m/s for locations A and B, which are equidistant from the center. When the frequencies of the light coming from regions A and B are measured on earth, they are not the same and each is different from the emitted frequency of 7.909 x 1014 Hz. Find the measured frequency for the light from (a) region A and (b) region B. (Give your answer to 4 significant digits. Use 2.998 x 108 m/s as the speed of light.)
