What is the ecliptic, and why is it tilted with respect to the celestial equator?

Physics
1 answer:
Dahasolnce [82]3 years ago
4 0
The ecliptic is the line in the celestial sphere traced out by the sun as the rotates (the path in the sky that the sun takes over head during one 24hr day). The celestial equator is just the extension of the regular equator on the surface of the earth.

This means that there will be a "tilt" between the ecliptic and the celestial equator that depends on your latitude of the observers location on the earths surface.

a blackbody is radiating with a characteristic wavelength of 9 microns what is the blackbody temperature answer in kelvin
Daniel [21]

This question involves the concepts of Wein's displacement law and characteristic wavelength.

The blackbody temperature will be "3.22 x 10⁵ k".

<h3>WEIN'S DISPLACEMENT LAW</h3>

According to Wein's displacement law,

\lambda_{max} T = c\\\\T=\frac{c}{\lambda_{max}}

where,

  • \lambda_{max} = characteristic wavelength = 9 μm = 9 x 10⁻⁹ m
  • T = temperature = ?
  • c = Wein's displacment constant = 2.897 x 10⁻³ m.k

Therefore,

T=\frac{2.897\ x\ 10^{-3}\ m.k}{9\ x\ 10^{-9}\ m}

T = 3.22 x 10⁵ k

What, it isn’t?!

Sorry, I had to.

As far as I have read and understood, the Sumerians and later the Babylonians both had astronomical calendars that already differentiated planets and stars. Earth was not the center to them, the Sun likely was. That was around 2,200 - 1,600 BC.

After that, Greek philosopher Aristarchus of Samos (310 - 230 BC) was the first (recorded) to have believed the solar system was organized around the Sun, rather than the Earth. His heliocentric model was unpopular during Aristarchus’ lifetime, although it would inspire astronomers centuries later, such as Copernicus and Galileo.

Now, there are numerous archeological findings (cave paintings) and studies, that all suggest an understanding of complex astronomy in prehistoric times dating back as far as 40,000 years. This also explains how early, prehistoric migrants may have navigated the seas.

The notes produced by a tuba range in frequency from approximately 45 Hz to 375 Hz. Find the possible range of wavelengths in ai
taurus [48]

Answer:

The possible range of wavelengths in air produced by the instrument is 7.62 m and 0.914 m respectively.

Explanation:

Given that,

The notes produced by a tuba range in frequency from approximately 45 Hz to 375 Hz.

The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s.

To find,

The wavelength range for the corresponding frequency.

Solution,

The speed of sound is given by the following relation as :

v=f_1\lambda_1

Wavelength for f = 45 Hz is,

\lambda_1=\dfrac{v}{f_1}

\lambda_1=\dfrac{343}{45}=7.62\ m

Wavelength for f = 375 Hz is,

\lambda_2=\dfrac{v}{f_2}

\lambda_2=\dfrac{343}{375}=0.914\ m/s

So, the possible range of wavelengths in air produced by the instrument is 7.62 m and 0.914 m respectively.
