An astronomer that discovers a new star and wants to measure its temperature would typically do this by means of a blackbody curve to find the maximum wavelength.

<h3>What is the maximum wavelength peak?</h3>

The maximum wavelength peak is the portion of the wave where a given chemical substance/object exhibits its maximum strongest value of photon absorption.

On the other hand, the blackbody curve of an object is the graphical diagram that shows the distribution of the radiation emitted by this particular substance.

In conclusion, An astronomer that discovers a new star and wants to measure its temperature would typically do this by means of a blackbody curve to find the maximum wavelength.

The electrical resistance of a wire varies directly as its length and inversely as the square of its diameter. a wire with a len
Annette [7]
The electrical resistance of the wire is proportional to its length L and inversely proportional to the square of its diameter, 1/r^2. 

The length of the wire in the problem is changed from 200 inches to 500 inches, so the new length is 2.5 times the initial length:
\frac{L_1}{L_0}= \frac{500}{200}=2.5
the diameter of the wire is not changed, so the new electrical resistance must be 2.5 times the original value:
R_1 = 2.5 R_0 = 2.5 \cdot 20 \Omega =50 \Omega

A bowling ball has a mass of 6 kg. What happens to its momentum when its speed increases from 2 m/s to 4 m/s?
mash [69]

Answer:

B) The initial momentum is 12 kg*m/s, and the final momentum is 24 kg*m/s

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is given by the product between its mass (m) and its velocity (v):

p=mv

Let's apply this formula to calculate the initial momentum and final momentum of the ball:

- initial momentum:

p_i = m v_i = (6 kg)(2 m/s)=12 kg m/s

- Final momentum:

p_f = m v_f = (6 kg)(4 m/s)=24 kg m/s

So, the correct answer is

B) The initial momentum is 12 kg*m/s, and the final momentum is 24 kg*m/s

Myth: An organism's kingdom only describes physical characteristics. <br> Fact:<br> Evidence:
Advocard [28]
FACT: An organism's kingdom does not only describe physical characteristics. 

Organisms are classified into the different kingdoms based on physical appearance, their function, how they reproduce and how they obtain their food. 

EVIDENCE:
Kingdom Plantae: They obtain their food through photosynthesis
                              Reproduce asexually.
Kingdom Animalia : They obtain their food through hunting or consuming                                        other organisms.        
                              Reproduce sexually.

A laser used for many applications of hard surface dental work emits 2780-nm wavelength pulses of variable energy (0-300 mJ) abo
Bess [88]

Answer:

a

    n =  1.119 *10^{18} \ photons

b

  P  =  1.6 \ W

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The wavelength is  \lambda  =  2780 nm =  2780 *10^{-9} \ m

     The  energy  is  E =  80 mJ  =  80 *10^{-3} \ J

This energy is mathematically represented as

     E   = \frac{n  *  h *  c }{\lambda }

Where  c is the speed of light with a value  c =  3.0 *10^{8} \ m/s

             h is the Planck's  constant with the value  h  =  6.626 *10^{-34} \ J \cdot s

             n is the number of pulses

So

      n =  \frac{E * \lambda }{h * c }

substituting values

       n =  \frac{80 *10^{-3} *  2780 *10^{-9}}{6.626 *10^{-34} * 3.0 *10^{8} }

       n =  1.119 *10^{18} \ photons

Given that the pulses where emitted 20 times in one second then the period of the pulse is

       T  =  \frac{1}{20}

      T = 0.05 \ s

Hence the average power of photons in one 80-mJ pulse during 1 s is mathematically represented as

       P  =  \frac{E}{T}

substituting values

       P  =  \frac{ 80 *10^{-3}}{0.05}

        P  =  1.6 \ W
