From laboratory measurements, we know that a particular spectral line formed by hydrogen appears at a wavelength of 500 nanomete

rs (nm). The spectrum of a particular star shows the same hydrogen line appearing at a wavelength of 480 nm (a shorter wavelength). What can we conclude

The star is moving toward the earth.

It is due to the phenomenon of the Doppler shift.

The <u>Doppler effect</u>, commonly referred to as "Doppler shift," is the <u>change in the wavelength </u>or frequency of waves as a result of an observer's motion in relation to the wave source.

It is possible to see this<u> apparent wavelength </u>change in the visible light emitted by stars and galaxies.

As a result, a star moving toward Earth appears to emit light with a shorter <u>wavelength</u> than a light source that is stationary. It is known as blueshift because <u>shorter wavelengths</u> cause the spectrum to shift toward the <u>blue end</u>.

While a star traveling away from us appears to shift its light towards longer wavelengths. Astronomers refer to this as redshift since it is closer to the <u>red end of the spectrum.</u>

<u />

As the spectrum of a particular star shows the hydrogen line appearing at a shorter wavelength of 480 nm in comparison to the laboratory measurements, that show the same hydrogen lines at a greater wavelength of 500 nanometers, that’s why we conclude that the star is moving toward earth.

deff fn [24]

Answer:

\theta_2 - \theta_1 = 156.93 degree

Explanation:

As we know that the displacement of the particle from the mean position is 1/5 times of its amplitude

so we have

y = A sin\omega t

y = \frac{A}{5}

so now we have

\frac{A}{5} = A sin\omega t

now we have

\theta_1 = 11.53 degree

so the phase other particle in opposite direction is given as

\theta_2 = 180 - 11.53 = 168.46 degree

so we have phase difference given as

\theta_2 - \theta_1 = 168.46 - 11.53

\theta_2 - \theta_1 = 156.93 degree

As a capacitor is being charged in an RC circuit. the current flowing through a resistor isa) increasingb) decreasingc) constant
Montano1993 [528]
<h2>Answer: decreasing</h2>

An RC circuit is an electrical circuit composed of resistors and capacitors, where the charging time T of the circuit is proportional to the magnitude of the electrical resistance R and the capacity C of the capacitor.  

As shown below:

T=R.C

In this context, the electrical resistance is the opposition to the flow of electrons when moving through a conductor.

Therefore:

<h2>When a capacitor is being charged in an RC circuit, the current flowing through a resistor <u>decreases</u>.</h2>

And the correct option is b.

. Maria walked 1.5 miles south to her house in 0.5 hours. What is her speed in miles per hour?
Simora [160]

1) 3 miles/Hour

The speed is defined as the distance covered divided by the time taken:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where

d = 1.5 mi is the distance

t = 0.5 h is the time taken

Substituting,

v=\frac{1.5}{0.5}=3 mi/h

2) 1.34 m/s south

Velocity, instead, is a vector, so it has both a magnitude and a direction. We have:

d=1.5 mi \cdot 1609 m/mi = 2414 m is the displacement in meters

t=0.5 h \cdot 3600 s/h =1800 s is the time taken in seconds

Substituting,

v=\frac{2414 m}{1800 s}=1.34 m/s

And the direction of the velocity is the same as the displacement, so it is south.
