Why does the presence of redshift in spectra of galaxies support an understanding of an expanding universe?

Physics
1 answer:
xenn [34]4 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

Doppler's Effect: If a source is moving towards the observer the frequency of the waves emitted by the source will increase( wavelength will decrease). If the source is moving away from the observer the frequency of the waves emitted by the source will decrease( wavelength will increase). The best example of this is the changing frequency of siren of an ambulance as it moves towards us and then away from us.

The same phenomenon can be observed in celestial objects. When the object will move towards us the wavelength will decrease thus the spectrum will be shifted towards the blue part. This is known as blue shift.

If the object moves away from us the wavelength will increase and thus the spectrum will be shifted towards red part. This is know as Red-shift. This is because red has longer wavelength (620 - 750nm) than blue (450-495nm)

Thus if a galaxy shows us red-shifted spectra it means that it is moving away from us. we have observed this phenomenon in various galaxies thus supporting the expanding universe theory.

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

The conduction path or simply the wires connected between different components in a circuit.

Explanation:

The wire makes up the path for the electricity to flow and most of the electricity flows through this. It is like a road connecting two house or buildings in a town and the traffic of vehicles is the electricity (current).

Need help in Psychology. Please help! Which of the following statements best describes abductive reasoning? A.I think,therefore
Pepsi [2]
The "D) People perceive objects as a whole" statement best describes an abductive reasoning. The abductive reasoning often has incomplete information as the base of its reasoning and the conclusion for this type of reasoning is not absolute. There will always be additional pieces of evidence and factors that could change the conclusion of this reasoning. Therefore<span> D statement is the most suitable answer.</span>

What is the average velocity of atoms in 1.00 mol of neon (a monatomic gas) at 465 K? For m, use 0.0202 kg.
TiliK225 [7]

Answer: 757m/s

Explanation:

Given the following :

Mole of neon gas = 1.00 mol

Temperature = 465k

Mass = 0.0202kg

Using the ideal gas equation. For calculating the average kinetic energy molecule :

0.5(mv^2) = 3/2 nRt

Where ;

M = mass, V = volume. R = gas constant(8.31 jK-1 mol-1, t = temperature in Kelvin, n = number of moles

Plugging our values

0.5(0.0202 × v^2) = 3/2 (1 × 8.31 × 465)

0.0101 v^2 = 5796.225

v^2 = 5796.225 / 0.0101

v^2 = 573883.66

v = √573883.66

v = 757.55109m/s

v = 757m/s
