DOPPLER EFFECT

Name __________________________________ Pd _____
Bright-line (emission) spectra are baseline spectra.
Dark-line (absorption) spectra indicate Doppler shift.
If a star is receding (moving away) from the Earth its wavelengths will be stretched and its spectral lines will be
shifted toward the red end of the spectrum. This is called a RED SHIFT.
If a star is approaching (moving toward) the Earth its wavelengths will be compressed and its spectral lines will
be shifted toward the blue end of the spectrum. This is a called a BLUE SHIFT.
To determine velocity (speed & direction) of a star using the Doppler shift we use the following formula:
𝐶 ∆
𝑉=
𝑏𝑎𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑒 
V = velocity
C = speed of light (186,000 miles/second)
 = change
 = wavelength
Å = Angstrom (unit for wavelength)

PART 2: Star Spectra
Use the figure below. Which elements are present in the spectrum of the unknown light source?
Compare the light in 2000 and 2015. What is the Doppler
shift? What is the direction of movement? What is the velocity? SHOW WORK ABOVE.
PART 3: Speed & Direction
State the speed and direction of the following stars if their wavelengths are as indicated. Then convert your answers into
miles per hour. SHOW WORK BELOW

 If a star is moving at 558,000 miles per second, where is its spectral line located now if it was originally at 4861 Å
and the object is moving away? SHOW YOUR WORK
