Estimate the thermal width of the solar line


At a temperature of 5800 , hydrogen atoms in the solar atmosphere have typical random speeds of about 12 . Assuming that spectral-line broadening is simply the result of atoms moving toward us or away from us at this random speed, estimate the thermal width (in nanometers) of the 656.3- solar line.
