The three most prominent spectral lines of hydrogen are H-α at 656 nm, H-β at 486 nm, and H-γ 434 nm. If we observe an object with H-α at a wavelength of 700 nm, what wavelength will we observe H-β and H-γ? Is the object moving toward or away from us, and how do you know? Suppose we observe another object with H-α at 585 nm. Is this object moving toward or away from us? Is it moving slower or faster than the first object?
