If the Earth and distant stars were stationary (motionless) in space, what would we observe about the wavelength from these star

s?
A.Wavelengths measured would match the actual wavelengths emitted.
B.Wavelengths measured would be shorter than the actual wavelengths emitted.
C.Wavelengths measured would be longer than the actual wavelengths emitted.

1) In the first case, the correct answer is
<span>A.Wavelengths measured would match the actual wavelengths emitted.
In fact, the stars are not moving relative to Earth, so there is no shift in the measured wavelength.

2) In this second case, the correct answer is
</span><span>A.Wavelengths measured would be shorter than the actual wavelengths emitted.
</span>in fact, since the stars in this case are moving towards the Earth, then apparent frequency of their emitted light will be larger than the actual frequency, because of the Doppler effect, according to the formula:
f'= \frac{c}{c+v_s} f_0
where f0 is the actual frequency, f' the apparent frequency, c the speed of light and vs the velocity of the source (the stars) relative to the obsever (Earth). Vs is negative when the source is moving towards the observer, so the apparent frequency f' is larger than the actual frequency f0. But the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency, so the apparent wavelength will be shorter than the actual wavelength.

Give at least one fact about subatomic particles
victus00 [196]

Answer:

- Particles smaller than atoms are called subatomic particles .

- There are three famous subatomic particles, proton, neutron and electron .

- The study of sub atomic particles are called particle physics

- These particles can be divided as Brayons and Leptons

- These particles are often held together by one of the four fundamental particles ( Weak force, strong force, electromagnetic force, gravitational force).

A plane starting from rest (vo = 0 m/s) when t0 = 0s. The plane accelerates down the runway, and at 29 seconds, its velocity is
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Acceleration, a=2.48\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

The plane is at rest initially, u = 0

Final speed of the plane, v = 72.2 m/s

Time, t = 29 s

We need to find the average acceleration for the plane. It can be calculated as :

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

a=\dfrac{72.2}{29}

a=2.48\ m/s^2

So, the average acceleration for the plane is 2.48\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

Which band of the electromagnetic spectrum has the lowest frequency
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

Radio waves

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are produced by the oscillations of electric and magnetic field. They are transverse waves, which means that the oscillations occur in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave, and they are the only type of waves that can travel through a vacuum.

Electromagnetic waves are classified into 7 different types, depending on their frequencies. From lowest to highest frequencies, we have:

Radio waves

Microwaves

Infrared

Visible light

Ultraviolet

X-rays

Gamma rays

Radio waves are the electromagnetic waves with lowest frequency. They are used, for examples, for satellites, telecommunication, broadcasting.
