Answer

The light would appear blue to an observer on the Earth.

Work Step by Step

In part (a), we found that the light would appear to have a wavelength of $420~nm$ to an observer on the Earth. The range of the spectrum of visible light is from approximately $400~nm$ to $700~nm$ Light with shorter wavelengths near $400~nm$ appear blue, and light with longer wavelengths near $700~nm$ appear red. The light would appear blue to an observer on the Earth.
