The star with apparent magnitude 2 is more brighter than 7.

To find the answer, we have to know about apparent magnitude.

<h3>What is apparent magnitude?</h3>
  • 100 times as luminous as a star with an apparent brightness of 7 is a star with a magnitude of 2.
  • The apparent magnitude of bigger stars is always smaller.
  • The brightest star in the night sky is Sirius.
  • The brightness of a star or other celestial object perceived from Earth is measured in apparent magnitude (m).
  • The apparent magnitude of an object is determined by its inherent luminosity, its distance from Earth, and any light extinction brought on by interstellar dust in the path of the observer's line of sight.

Thus, we can conclude that, the star with apparent magnitude 2 is more brighter than 7.

Base SI unit is the unit that used for simple quantity like time=second and length= meter. They only have one unit.
Derived unit is more complex because you multiply or divide at least two base SI, making it have more than 1 unit. The example could be velocity which was time/length = m/s

Answer:

Find answers below.

Explanation:

1. Radiant: the energy of light.

2. Light: makes it possible to see things.

3. Sun: a source of light. This source of light is referred to as solar energy and it's renewable source of energy.

4. Crest: top of wave. Thus, it's typically the highest part of an electromagnetic wave.

5. Trough: bottom of wave. Thus, it's typically the lowest part of an electromagnetic wave.

6. Wavelength: distance from one point on one wave to the same point on the next wave.

7. Infrared light: it has longer wavelengths than visible light.

8. X-rays: shorter wavelengths than visible light.

Electromagnetic waves is a propagating medium used in all communications device to transmit data (messages) from the device of the sender to the device of the receiver.

An electromagnetic spectrum refers to a range of frequency and wavelength that an electromagnetic wave is distributed or extends. The electromagnetic spectrum comprises of gamma rays, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, x-rays, radio waves, and infrared radiation.
