Homework Statement
Superman has a blue light of wavelength 480nm. How fast must he fly away from you so that his light appears orange, with a wavelength of 600nm?
Homework Equations
f'=\frac{f}{\left(1+\frac{v_s}{v}\right)}
and
f=\frac{c}{\lambda}
The Attempt at a Solution
I used the equation f'=\frac{f}{\left(1+\frac{v_s}{v}\right)} and solved for v_s and got my answer to be 75\times 10^8 m/s but the answer key said 57.0\times10^6 - 67\times10^6m/s. What did I do wrong?
