The H α transition in hydrogen has a rest wavelength of 656.3 nm, coming from electrons moving between the n=2 and n=3 orbitals. You observe a star in which this transition shows a wavelength of 650 nm. How fast is the star moving? Is it moving toward you or away from you. Calculate the same for a galaxy where the wavelength of H α is 1100 nm.

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?

1. (A) Find the de Broglie wavelength (in nm) associated with an electron that is moving with a velocity of 2310 km/s. The electron rest mass is 9.11 x 10-31 kg. Note, electrons having this speed would need to be treated as waves in atoms because the wavelength is on the order of the size of atoms. (B) A baseball weighs 220 g.

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...
