Answer

$1.14$

Work Step by Step

We know that $f^{\prime}=f(1-\frac{u}{c})$ $\implies \frac{c}{\lambda^{\prime}}=\frac{c}{\lambda}(1-\frac{u}{c})$ This simplifies to: $\frac{\lambda^{\prime}}{\lambda}=\frac{1}{1-\frac{u}{c}}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\frac{\lambda^{\prime}}{\lambda}=\frac{1}{1-(3.75\times 10^7)(3.00\times 10^8)}$ $\frac{\lambda^{\prime}}{\lambda}=1.14$
