What we have: R = 2439.7 km t = 390 / 2 microseconds c = 300,000 km/sec R (radius) D = 58.5 km X = 2381.2 km y Y = 531.1 km What we need: x d = R-x X = 2439.7 – 58.5 X Y Y = 2439.72 – 2381.22 D D = 390x10-6 / 2 sec x 3x105 km/sec D is half the extra distance light traveled (there, and back) in 390 μs X = R - D XYR is a right triangle, so use the Pythagorean Theorem (R2 = X2 + Y2) Y2 = R2 - X2 T=390 microseconds
The Döppler Effect Watch how the circles seem squished in the direction of motion
Bluer Redder The Döppler Effect For unrealistically fast-moving stars The same happens with light; shorter wavelengths are bluer. This can be measured extremely precisely
