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.

An ac series circuit has an impedance of 60 Ohm and
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Power factor of the AC series circuit is cos\phi=0.5

Explanation:

It is given that,

Impedance of the AC series circuit, Z = 60 ohms

Resistance of the AC series circuit, R = 30 ohms

We need to find the power factor of the circuit. It is given by :

cos\phi=\dfrac{R}{Z}

cos\phi=\dfrac{30}{60}

cos\phi=\dfrac{1}{2}

cos\phi=0.5

So, the power factor of the ac series circuit is cos\phi=0.5. Hence, this is the required solution.
