Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 36EAP
Choose the best answer to each of the following. Explain your reasoning with one or more complete sentences.
36. A spectral line that appears at a wavelength of 321 nm in the laboratory appears at a wavelength of 328 nm in the spectrum of a distant object. We say that the object's spectrum is (a) redshifted. (b) blueshifted. (c) whiteshifted.

Students have asked these similar questions
1. What is meant by a 'black' body ? How can we make an almost ideal blackbody in the
lab ?
2. What is the Uv catastrophe ? How it was solved ?
3. Draw the black body spectrum, and indicate its main characteristics
Complete the following chart by using Wien's law. You may use a calculator and the Wien's law formula, or the interactive graph Planck Law for Blackbodies to calculate temperature when given
wavelength (and vice-versa). Use the data table Blackbody Temperatures of the Electromagnetic Spectrum to identify the region of the electromagnetic spectrum where an object with the stated
temperature emits most of its light.
