DOPPLER BROADENING

Frequency spreading which causes broadening of single-frequency radiation (for example, spectral lines) when the radiating bodies (atoms, molecules, etc.) have various velocities. Radiation from every individual radiating body has a various Doppler shift, and the collection of radiations at various frequencies broadens the peak of the line in an intensity-vs-frequency plot.
