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

Physics

xenn [34]4 years ago

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.

Answer:

Pemain A

Explanation:

Mengingat data berikut;

Kecepatan pemain A = 12 m/s

Kecepatan pemain B = 36 km/h

Untuk menentukan siapa pelari tercepat di antara dua pemain;

Pertama-tama, kita harus mengubah kecepatan menjadi satuan standar pengukuran yang sama.

Jadi, mari kita gunakan pengukuran umum meter per detik.

Konversi:

36 km/h = (36 * 1000)/(60 * 60)

36 km/h = 36000/3600

36 km/h = 10 m/s

Kecepatan pemain B = 10 m/s

Oleh karena itu, dibandingkan dengan kecepatan pemain A; pemain A lebih cepat.

How did kepler descrube the planets orbits​
Natalka [10]

Answer:

The planet follows the ellipse in its orbit, meaning that the planet to Sun distance is constantly changing as the planet goes around its orbit. Kepler's Second Law: the imaginary line joining a planet and the sons sweeps equal areas of space during equal time intervals as the planet orbits.

Consider a copper wire with a diameter of 0.450 mm. If you want to cut a piece of the wire so it has a resistance of 3.25 Ω, how
Arisa [49]

Answer:

30.7m

Explanation:

You can use the following equation:

ρ = R * \frac{S}{l}

Where ρ is the resistivity, R is the resistance, S is the Cross-sectional Area and l is the length of the wire.

We issolate l in the equation and solve with the data we have:

l = R * \frac{S}{p} = 3.25 Ω * \frac{0.25 *\pi * ((0.45/1000)^2}{1.68*10^-8}

l =  30.7m

State a true conclusion.
Ganezh [65]

The conclusion is; Cathy's dad has gone fishing.

<h3>What are conclusions in conditional statements?</h3>

A conditional statement is a statement with a hypothesis which is then followed by a conclusion.

A conditional statement has two parts; "if" and "then"

The hypothesis is “if,” part of a conditional statement.

The conclusion is the “then,” part of a conditional statement.

Considering the given conditional statements:

1. If it's Saturday, then Cathy's dad goes fishing.

2. If it's Saturday, then Cathy's dad goes fishing.

Since the if part is true, the conclusion will be, Cathy's dad has gone fishing.

In conclusion, a conditional statement consists of a hypothesis and a conclusion.

kifflom [539]

Answer:

Activation Energy

Explanation:

Effective collisions are those that result in a chemical reaction. In order to produce an effective collision, reactant particles must possess some minimum amount of energy. This energy, used to initiate the reaction, is called the activation energy.
