DopplerSpektrumsbreite

DopplerSpektrumsbreite, also known as Doppler broadening, is a phenomenon in spectroscopy where the spectral lines of a substance are broadened due to the Doppler effect. This effect occurs when the source of the spectral lines is moving relative to the observer. The Doppler effect causes a shift in the frequency of the light emitted or absorbed by the moving source, resulting in a broadening of the spectral lines.

The DopplerSpektrumsbreite is proportional to the velocity of the moving particles and the wavelength of the light. It is given by the formula:

DopplerSpektrumsbreite = 2 * (wavelength / speed of light) * (velocity / 2)

where wavelength is the wavelength of the light, speed of light is the speed of light in a vacuum, and velocity is the velocity of the moving particles.

Doppler broadening is commonly observed in astrophysics, where it is used to study the motion of stars and galaxies. It is also used in plasma physics to study the motion of charged particles in a plasma. The DopplerSpektrumsbreite can provide valuable information about the temperature, density, and velocity of the particles in the system.
