Page 1 Name 40 points Date Period Thinking Critically Wavelength Shifts (13 points) One of the many ways scientists learn more about stars is the use of spectral lines. Spectral lines help scientists determine the speed of a star’s motion. Motion between the source of light and the observer cause the spectral lines to shift in wavelength. Depending on whether the wavelength is shorter or longer, the observer can determine if the star is moving toward or away from Earth. These shifts are called blueshifts and redshifts. The larger the shift, the higher the speed of motion. The shifts in spectral lines can also be used to detect binary stars as they orbit around their center of mass and move toward and away from Earth. Answer the following questions. 1. Explain the difference between blueshifts and redshifts. 2. The shifts in spectral lines are an example of the Doppler effect. What motion will this effect not detect? 3. Why is it important that astronomers learn about stars? 4. How does understanding the formation and evolution of stars help scientists understand the Sun? Standard 1: Students will understand the scientific evidence that supports theories that explain how the universe and the solar system developed.
