The Hα spectral line of hydrogen has a wavelength of 656.3 nm as measured in the laboratory.The Hα spectral line is observed in light from a distant star at a redshifted wavelength of 789.0 nm.If Hubble's law is valid for this star,estimate how far is it from Earth if the Hubble constant is 22 km/s per million light-years.(c = 3.00 × 108 m/s, 1 ly=9.461 x 1015 m , 1 y = 3.156 × 107 s)
A) 2.5 × 109 ly
B) 9.1 × 108 ly
C) 2.7 × 108 ly
D) 9.1 × 107 ly
E) 2.7 × 107 ly
