How are surface temperature and length of year on a planet related to the planet’s distance from the Sun?

1 answer:

8 0

The farther from the sun an object is the larger the distance a planet has to orbit the sun. So if a planet is far from the sun the years would be longer. And if a planet is close to the sun it would be much hotter than a planet that is far from the sun.

Answer:

The electromagnetic waves appear more blue in color.

Explanation:

Doppler's Effect: When a source moves with respect to the observer the frequency of the wave emitted from the source changes. If the source moves away from the observer, the frequency decreases and wavelength increases and vice versa.

Here the light source is moving towards the observer so the frequency will increase and wavelength will decrease. Thus the spectrum will shift towards the blue part. This is known as blue shift. The light wave will appear blue in color.

A light beam has speed c in vacuum and speed v in a certain plastic. The index of refraction n of this plastic is

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

$n = \frac{c}{v}$

Explanation:

Refractive Index: It is a measure to find how fast the light travels through a medium. It is ration of the speed of light in vacuum to speed of light in the medium. Speed of light is not constant and varies depending on the density of the medium.

In vacuum the speed of light is 300000 km/s and is denoted by c. When the light beam enters any medium the speed will decrease. Here it is given that the speed in plastic is v. Thus the refractive index(n) is given as:

$n = \frac{c}{v}$

It is a dimensionless no.
