Q: What is the size of each star's shift in wavelength? shift = about 2 Angstroms = about 0.2 nm Q: The rest wavelength of the top set of lines is 448.1 nm. What is the orbital speed of each star? shift in wavelength speed = -------------------- * (speed of light) rest wavelength 0.2 nm = ------------- * 3 x 10^(8) m/s 448.1 nm = 130,000 m/s
