What will happen to the absorption and/or emission spectral lines of an object moving away from Earth at high speed?

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

c. They will be shifted toward the red end of the spectrum.

Explanation:

When the absorption or emission lines of a moving object away from from the earth at very high speed then the spectral lines will be shifted toward the red end of the spectrum.This effect can be easily understand by Doppler effect..

So the our option c is correct.

c. They will be shifted toward the red end of the spectrum.

An oil layer that is 5.0 cm thick is spread smoothly and evenly over the surface of water on a windless day. A light ray from th

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

The angle of refraction in water 32.12°.

Explanation:

Given that,

Thickness = 5.0 cm

Index of refraction for oil = 1.15

Index of refraction for water = 1.33

Angle = 45°

We need to calculate the angle of refraction

When the ray of light enters from air to oil

Using formula of refraction

$n_{a}\sin\theta_{a}=n_{o}\sin\theta_{o}$

Where, $n_{a}$ = refractive index of air

$n_{0}$ = refractive index of oil

Put the value into the formula

$1\times\sin45=1.15\sin\theta_{o}$

$\sin\theta_{o}=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}\times1.15}$

$\sin\theta_{o}=0.6148$

$\theta_{o}=sin^{-1}0.6149$

$\theta_{o}=37.94^{\circ}$

When the ray of light enters from oil to water

Using formula of refraction

$n_{0}\sin\theta_{0}=n_{w}\sin\theta_{w}$

Where, $n_{w}$ = refractive index of water

$1.15\times\sin37.94^{\circ}=1.33\sin\theta_{w}$

$\sin\theta_{w}=\dfrac{1.15\sin37.94^{\circ}}{1.33}$

$\theta_{w}=\sin^{-1}0.53163$

$\theta_{w}=32.12^{\circ}$

Hence, The angle of refraction in water 32.12°.

Which transformation of energy occurs in a hydroelectric power plant? A. Potential to chemical energy B. Chemical to potential e

motikmotik

The correct answer to the question is D). Kinetic to electrical.

EXPLANATION:

Hydro electric power plants are the electricity generation plants which capture the energy of falling water to produce current.

The water present at the top of a dam has potential energy. When the water is allowed to fall from certain height, the potential energy of the water is converted into kinetic energy.

The falling water moving with high speed is allowed to fall on a turbine. The kinetic energy of the water will rotate the turbine. The turbine is attached to a generator which will produce electricity due to the electromagnetic induction.

Hence, we see that the kinetic energy of the water is converted into electric energy.

The wrong statement is that sound waves created vibration Option A.

<h3>What are sound waves?</h3>

Sound is a type of waves that moves in compressions and rare factions. This implies that sound is a mechanical wave. Recall that a mechanical wave is one that requires a material medium for propagation. Now we know that if we set the medium into vibration, that is when the sound waves begins to vibrate. That brings us to the idea that it is the vibration that causes the sound waves and not the sound waves that creates the vibration.

Thus, knowing that sound is a mechanical wave which moves through solids liquids and gas and that the vibration of the source of sound is what causes the air to vibrate, we conclude that the wrong statement is that sound waves created vibration Option A.

What is the magnitude of the magnetic dipole moment of the bar magnet

Annette [7]

The magnitude of the magnetic dipole moment of the bar magnet is 1.2 Am²

<h3> Magnetic dipole moment of the bar magnet</h3>

The magnitude of the magnetic dipole moment of the bar magnet at distance from its axis is calculated as follows;

$B = \frac{2\mu_0m}{4\pi r^3} \\\\m = \frac{4\pi r^3 B}{2\mu_0}$

where;

B is magnetic field
m is dipole moment
μ is permeability of free space

m = (4π x 0.1³ x 2.4 x 10⁻⁴)/(2 x 4π x 10⁻⁷)

m = 1.2 Am²

The complete question is below:

What is the magnitude of the magnetic dipole moment of the bar magnet from 0.1 m of its axis and magnetic field strength of 2.4 x 10⁻⁴ T.
