The speed of the light emitted from the earth is approaching the galaxy at [tex]3\times 10^5\;\rm m/s[/tex].

Doppler's Effect

According to the Doppler effect, the difference between the frequency at which light wave leave a source and reaches an observer is caused by the relative motion of the observer and the wave source.

Given that the difference in the frequency is 0.10 %. The speed of light emitted from the galaxy can be calculated by the Doppler effect.

[tex]\dfrac {\Delta f}{f} = \dfrac {v}{c}[/tex]

Where f is the frequency of the light, v is the speed of light emitted from the galaxy and c is the speed of light emitted from the earth.

[tex]\dfrac {0.10 f}{100 f} = \dfrac {v}{3\times 10^8}[/tex]

[tex]v = 3\times 10^5\;\rm m/s[/tex]

Hence we can conclude that the speed of the light emitted from the earth is approaching the galaxy at [tex]3\times 10^5\;\rm m/s[/tex].
