You are trying to communicate with a spaceship that is traveling at $1.2 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ away from Earth. If you send a message at a frequency of $55 \mathrm{kHz}$, to what frequency should the astronauts on the ship tune to receive your message?
(II) A spaceship moving toward Earth at 0.70$c$ transmits radio signals at 95.0 $\mathrm{MHz}$ . At what frequency should Earth receivers be tuned?
