The Earth's Orbital Velocity Name Lab S e ction SOL Date To convert the measured Doppler shifts from millimeters into nanometers find the plate scale using the following equation. 430.791 426.048 nm P. S. = Plate Scale = distance between lines 1 and 7 in mm Plate Scale O nn)rnm 0/1.W1 Complete the following tables by measuring (in millimeters) the Doppler shift for the spectral lines indicated. Measure as accurately as possible. Remember, if the displacement is a blue shift, then AN is negative, and a red shift gives a positive displacement. Ref. No. 1 2 5 7 13 Average VA = Ref.

The Earth's Orbital Velocity 3. Since we know the velocity of the earth and the period of its orbit (one year), we can calculate the radius (astronomical unit) of the orbit. Find the radius of the earth's orbit in kilometers and miles (1 km .62 mi). distance circumference of orbit 2Ttr V earth ¯ time period where P = 1 year = 31 seconds and It = 3.1416 1000/000 - I sqo c nuoq km miles 4. Assuming its present right ascension, what would the declination of Arcturus have to be in order for these spectra to reflect maximum Doppler shift? (Hint: Find Arcturus on the star chart.) 5.
