Small differences in the wavelengths in the sun’s spectrum are detected when measurements are taken from different parts of the sun’s disk. Specifi cally, measurements of the 656-nm line in hydrogen taken from opposite sides on the sun’s equator—one side approaching Earth and the other receding—differ from each other by 0.0090 nm. Use this information to fi nd the rotational period of the sun’s equator. Express your answer in days. (The sun’s equatorial radius is 6.96 x 108 m.)
