In astrophysics, the quantity z==(L - L0)/L0 is often introduced, equal to the relative change in the length of the spectral line. Here L0 is the wavelength emitted by the source, L is the wavelength recorded by the observer. Express this quantity in terms of the radial velocity of the source in the reference frame associated with the observer.
