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.

Elanso [62]

Answer:

λ = 470.66 nm

Explanation:

for bright fringe $y_m = \frac{m\lambda D}{d}$

D= distance between slit and screen

d= distance between the slits

for first order bright fringe m = 1,

$y_1 = \frac{1\lambda D}{d}$

$y_1 = {706*D}{d}$

for dark fringe,we have

$y_m = {(m + 1/2)\lambda D}{d}$

Now to get the dark fringes at the same location we should have;

(706)D/d = (m + 1/2)λD/d

put m = 1

(1 + 1/2)λ = (706)

λ = 470.66 nm

13.<br>14. Why does a person feel weightlessness during freefall?

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

When in free fall, the only force acting upon your body is the force of gravity - a non-contact force. Since the force of gravity cannot be felt without any other opposing forces, you would have no sensation of it. You would feel weightless when in a state of free fall.
