What do you spiral and elliptical galaxies have in common

malfutka [58]

They have a uniform luminosity and are similar to the bulge in a spiral galaxy, but with no disk. The stars are old and there is no gas present. Ellipticals are usually found in the high density field, at the centre of clusters.

As wavelength decreases, frequency and energy _________________;

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

Increase

Explanation:

The best way for me to visualize the relation between wavelength, frequency, and energy is to think about actual ocean waves. Wavelength is a measure of the distance between two equivalent points on consecutive waves (think wave peak to wave peak). Lets say you are building a sand castle and want to see how many waves hit your castle over a period of 10 seconds. If the distance between each wave is 10 ft and the wave is traveling at 1 foot per second then you will only have one wave hit your castle. If the wavelength is 1/2 that (5 ft) then you will have 2 waves hit your castle in the same amount of time. This is the same concept behind waves in physics. The smaller the distance between each wave, the more waves and therefore more energy that will be delivered.

There is a simple relationship between the energy for a photon of light Ephoton in units of eV (electron volts) and its waveleng

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

$\lambda=620\ nm$

$E_p=1.9682\ eV$

$E_p=206.67\ eV$ is the photon energy of an x-ray

Explanation:

Given:

Energy of photon, $E_p=2\ eV$

Then according to given:

$E_p=\frac{1240}{\lambda}$

$2=\frac{1240}{\lambda}$

$\lambda=620\ nm$ is the wavelength

Again,

Energy of photon, $E_p=?$

wavelength of the light, $\lambda=630\ nm$

$E_p=\frac{1240}{630}$

$E_p=1.9682\ eV$

<u>Now, photon energy for an x-ray:</u>

wavelength, $\lambda=6\ nm$

$E_p=\frac{1240}{6}$

$E_p=206.67\ eV$ is the photon energy of an x-ray

An insulated rigid tank initially contains 1.4-kg saturated liquid water and water vapor at 200°C. At this state, 25 percent of

Elan Coil [88]

Solution:

Mass of liquid water and water vapor in the insulated tank initially = 1.4 kg

Temperature = 200 °C

And 25% of the volume by liquid water is steam.

State 1

$m=\frac{V}{v}$

$m=m_f+m_g$

$1.4=\frac{0.25V}{v_f}+\frac{0.75V}{v_g}$

$1.4=\frac{0.25V}{1.1565 \times 10^{-3}}+\frac{0.75V}{0.1274}$ (taking the value of $v_g$ and $v_g$ at 200°C )

$V=6.304 \times 10^{-3}$

Now quality of vapor

$x=\frac{m_g}{m}$

$=3.377 \times 10^{-3}$

Internal energy at state 1 can be found out by

$u_1=u_f+xu_{fg}$

$=850.65+3.377\times10^{-3}\times 1744.65$

= 856.54 kJ/kg

After heating with the resistor for 20 minutes, at state 2, the tank contains saturated water vapor $v_2=v_g \text { and }\ x=1$

Tank is rigid, so volume of tank is constant.

$v_g=v_2=\frac{V}{m}$

$v_g=\frac{6.304\times 10^{-3}}{1.4}$

$v_g=4.502 \times 10^{-3} \ m^3 /kg$

Now interpolate the value to get temperature at state 2 with specific volume value to get final temperature

$T_2=360+(374.14-360)\left(\frac{0.004502-0.006945}{0.003155-0.006945}\right)$

= 369.11° C

Internal energy at state 2

$u_2=2154.9 \ kJ/kg$

Now power rating of the resistor

$P=\frac{m(u_2-u_1)}{t}$

$P=\frac{1.4(2154.9-856.54)}{20 \times 60}$

= 1.51 kW
