Answer

$\alpha = H$

Work Step by Step

In part (d), we found that $\frac{\Delta \lambda}{\lambda} = \frac{r~\alpha}{c}$ If we assume that $\Delta \lambda$ is due to the Doppler effect, then $\frac{\Delta \lambda}{\lambda} = \frac{v}{c}$ Then: $\frac{r~\alpha}{c} = \frac{v}{c}$ $r~\alpha = v$ $r~\alpha = H~r$ $\alpha = H$
