Barnard's Star is the 2nd closest star to Sol (~ 6 light years). It is moving toward the Earth with a speed of 110 km/s. Calculate the blue shift of light from Barnard's star, defined by AX/X.

When astronomers look at the spectrum of the Sun, they noticed that the light from one edge is slightly blue-shifted, while light from the opposite age is slightly red-shifted. What does this tell you about the Sun?
Earth tugs the Sun around as it orbits, but it affects the radial velocity of the sun by only 0.09m/s. How large a shift in wavelength does this cause in the Sun's spectrum at 575 nm?

Explain why the presence of spectral lines of a given element in the solar spectrum tells you that element is present in the sun, but the absence of the lines would not necessarily mean the element is absent from the sun.
