Answer to Problem 80AP
The atom can be Hydrogen since the results of Doppler shifts is equal to the actual value of wavelength of Hydrogen spectrum.
Explanation of Solution
The wavelength of the spectral lines were measured by the Doppler shifting in the frequency and speed of motion of atom with respect to the Earth.
Write the expression for the ratio of original wavelength and the shifted wavelength of the atom.
The ratio between the old wavelengths and Doppler shifted wavelength is equal to
