One of the main reference lines on the spectrum of hydrogen is located at 650 nanometers. If the placement of this line on the hydrogen spectrum from a distant star was at 649 nanometers, this would indicate that _____.

the star has no radial motion with respect to Earth
the star is moving toward Earth
the star is moving away from Earth

Respuesta :

the star is moving toward Earth


as the spectral line moves towards the shorter wavelength (650>649) i.e. the higher frequency end, the phenomenon is called blue-shift n it indicates:

the star is moving toward Earth
