The Sun has a radius of 7×10 to raise the power of 8 m, approximately, and a period of rotation
about its axis equal to 24.7 days. What is the Doppler shift of a spectral line with
laboratory wavelength 500 nm, in the light emitted (a) from the center of the Sun
and (b) from the edges of the Sun’s disk at its equator?
