If a star is moving towards Earth, shift towards the blue end of the spectrum, this is called blue shift. If the star is moving away from Earth the light from that star will be red and is called red shift .

The faster a star moves towards the earth, the more its light is shifted to higher frequencies. In contrast, if a star is moving away from the earth, its light is shifted to lower frequencies on the color spectrum

if a star is moving towards Earth, it appears to emit light that is shorter in wavelength compared to a source of light that isn't moving. Because shorter wavelengths correspond to a shift towards the blue end of the spectrum, this is called blue shift.

If the star is moving away from Earth, its light will lose energy to reach Earth, therefore the light from that star will be red and is called red shift

12345 [234]

Answer:

Option (D) On average, the molecules of gas 1 lose some of their kinetic energy to the molecules of gas 2 through collisions, resulting in the two gases eventually having the same temperature.

Explanation:

From the question given, Gas 1 was initially at a higher temperature than Gas 2.

As the two gas mixes together, there will be a transfer of heat from Gas 1 molecules to Gas 2 molecules. Now, as this continues over a period of time, the two gas will eventually have the same temperature.

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

c. probablistic view of nature.

Explanation:

According to the problem of particle in a box in one dimension. If the particle energy E is taken less than the height of the barrier V.

Then with the help of classical mechanics it can be prove that the particle can not cross the barrier but according to the quantum mechanics, there is a small but a finite probability to cross the barrier.

Therefore by the above discussion it can be concluded that quantum mechanics can be thought as a probablistic view of nature.
