Question:

In Problem 10.27, we saw that Doppler shifts of atomic spectral lines are used to estimate the speed of recession or approach of a star. From the discussion in Section 13.3a, it is easy to see that Doppler broadening of an atomic spectral line depends on the temperature of the star that emits the radiation. A spectral line of48Ti8+ (of mass 47.95 u) in a distant star was found to be shifted from 654.2 nm to 706.5 nm and to be broadened to 61.8 pm. What is the speed of recession and the surface temperature of the star?
