Answer:

<em>Infrared telescope and camera</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

An infrared telescope uses infrared light to detect celestial bodies. The infrared radiation is one of the known forms of electromagnetic radiation. Infrared radiation is given off by a body possessing some form of heat. All bodies above the absolute zero temperature in the universe radiates some form of heat, which can then be detected by an infrared telescope, and infrared radiation can be used to study or look into a system that is void of detectable visible light.

Stars are celestial bodies that are constantly radiating heat. In order to see a clearer picture of the these bodies, <em>Infrared images is better used, since they are able to penetrate the surrounding clouds of dust,</em> and have located many more stellar components than any other types of telescope, especially in dusty regions of star clusters like the Trapezium cluster.

<span>The correct answer is: Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)

Explanation:
In simple words, CFCs are the chemical compounds made up of the following three elements:
1. Carbon
2. Chlorine
3. Fluorine

When CFCs compounds reach the upper atmosphere, the ultraviolet rays coming from the Sun break those compounds into individual elements, which then react with one of the oxygen atom of the ozone (O3) to form new compounds like chlorine monoxides. That way the ozone molecules get destroyed, resulting into the ozone depletion. Hence, the correct answer is Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).</span>

What forces shape the stars in galaxies? (Astronomy question, but didn't fit into any categories) PLEASE 
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Force of gravity

Explanation:

when the force of gravity pulls large gas clouds and dust together, the concentrated gas clouds and dust collapse under the force of gravity forming stars.

There are many galaxies out there in the universe, each galaxy has its own solar systems, stars, and collection of gas and dust. We (earth) belong to the Milky Way galaxy, our galaxy got this name from the Romans. They called in 'via lactea', which directly translates to 'road of milk' because of the milky patch they saw at night.

The grounded conductor and the grounding conductor are one and the same conductor and perform the same function.
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Grounded  used to carry the current in the normal conditions. while on the other side grounding is refer to that safety wire that is connected to the earth and currently does not transmit through it.

As grounding wire is referred to as safety wire hence it carries current only in an emergency like a short circuit.

Explanation:

A grounded conductor is referred to as one of the wire that needed in an electric circuit. it is basically a neutral conductor.  It used to carry the current in the normal conditions. while on the other side grounding is refer to that safety wire that is connected to the earth and currently does not transmit through it.

As grounding wire is referred to as safety wire hence it carries current only in an emergency like a short circuit.

What is the smallest frequency at which the string can be moved to produce any standing wave?
aleksklad [387]
The first harmonic would be the smallest frequency for a string to produce a standing wave. In addition, the strings were fixed in a single attachment and have only limited motion. It is because standing waves require a specific medium for the sound to travel in it.
