If the emitting source is moving towards you, it means you'll get signals faster. As a consequence, the frequency will be higher.

Conclusion : the star is (2) moving away from Earth

The light from a star has lower frequencies than the light emitted by the star, when viewed from Earth, as the star is moving away from Earth.

How movement of a star from earth affect frequency of its light?

The frequency of the light emitted by the star is changed with its movement from earth.

  • When a star moves towards the Earth, then the lights of star shifted to the higher frequency.
  • When a star moves away the Earth, then the lights of star shifted to the lower frequency.
