You overhear two students discussing the topic of Doppler shift.
Student 1: Since Betelgeuse is a red star, it must be going away from us, and since Rigel is a blue star it must be coming toward us.
Student 2:
I disagree, the color of the star does not tell you if it is moving. You have to look at the shift in wavelength of the lines in the star's absorption spectrum to determine whether
it's moving toward or away from you.
Do you agree or disagree with either or both of the students?
