A star has an emission line at a wavelength of 666.80 nm. The rest wavelength of the line is 656.3 nm. What is the velocity of the star? Hint: How does the velocity of a star depend on its observed wavelength? What is the equation for Doppler shift? The speed of light is 3.0 × 105 km/s.
(a) Calculate the wavelength (in nm) of Pdelta, the fourth transition in the Paschen series. [Enter your answer in nanometers; do not use scientific notation.] (b) In what part of the EM spectrum is this line? (choose 1) - microwave - x-ray - visible - gamma-ray - radio - infrared - ultraviolet (c) The wavelength of Hbeta in the spectrum of the star Megrez in the Big Dipper is 486.112 nm. Laboratory measurements demonstrate that the normal wavelength of this...
DopplerShift:TheHb(hydrogenbeta)line,whichisstronginthespectraof moderately hot stars, has a wavelength of 486.133 nm in the laboratory (i.e., at rest with respect to the observer). What wavelength (nm) would we observe the Hb line on Earth if it were emitted by a star: a) moving at a speed of 200 km/s toward Earth? b) moving at a speed of 300 km/s away from Earth?
If a spectral line from a distant star is measured to have a wavelength of 497.14nm, but is normally at 497.22nm how fast (speed, not velocity) with respect to the Earth is the star moving in m/s?
Suppose you observe a quasar with a redshift of 3.6. (a) At what wavelength would you see the Lyman-α line, whose laboratory wavelength is 121.6 nm? (b) Roughly what is the lookback time (“distance”) of this quasar?

1. A red photon has a wavelength of 660 nm. How fast must a star be moving toward the Earth for a red photon emitted by the star to change its color to an orange photon of wavelength 620 nm? You may, if you wish, express your answer either in m/s or in terms of the speed of light c (e.g., "0.021c"). [You'll need to do a little bit of algebra. Keep in mind that, by convention, the velocity...
