What happens to light waves from a star as the star moves away from Earth?

Physics

AURORKA [14]4 years ago

<h2>Answer: Light waves have a redshift due to the Doppler effect </h2>

The astronomer Edwin Powell Hubble observed several celestial bodies, and when obtaining the spectra of distant galaxies he observed the spectral lines were displaced towards the red (red shift), whereas the nearby galaxies showed a spectrum displaced to the blue.  

From there, Hubble deduced that the farther the galaxy is, the more redshifted it is in its spectrum. <u>The same happens with the stars and this phenomenom is known as the Doppler effect. </u>

This phenomenon refers to the change in a wave perceived frequency (or wavelength=color) when the emitter of the waves, and the receiver (or observer in the case of light) move relative to each other.  For example, as a star moves away from the Earth, its espectrum turns towards the red.

Which of the following illustrates an increase in potential energy? Group of answer choices a wind-up toy winding down a person
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

A person climbs a set of stairs

Explanation:

Potential energy is said to be possessed by an object due to its position. As the height from the ground level increase, the potential energy increases. It is calculated by the below formula as :

P = mgh

Out of the given options, the option that illustrates an increase in potential energy is option (b) i.e. a person climbs a set of stairs. As he steps one stair, its position from ground increases. It means its potential energy increases.

If you are standing at Earth’s North Pole, which of the following will be directly overhead?
Sidana [21]

The north celestial pole (and also the south) are described as two imaginary points that project on the axis of rotation of the earth, indefinitely towards space and that intersects with the celestial sphere (Remember that the earth has a slight inclination with respect to to its axis of rotation). The north and south celestial poles are directly above the head of someone located at the north or south pole of the earth.

Correct Answer is A.

An electric motor operates a pump that irri-
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

a. 5A

b. 39.60%

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. The current does it draw is

= v ÷ R

= 110v  ÷ 22

= 5A

b. Now the efficiency of the motor is

n = mgh ÷ vlt

= (10,000 × 9.8 × 8) ÷ (5 × 3600 × 110)

= 784000 J ÷ 1,980,000

= 39.60%

hence, the above formulas are applied & the same is relevant

Pls someone I need it urgently and explain Solving and explanation so I can understand Thank you
Temka [501]

Answer:

   f = 6.37 Hz,       T = 0.157 s

Explanation:

The expression you have is

       y = 5 sin (3x - 40t)

this is the equation of a traveling wave, the general form of the expression is

      y = A sin (kx - wt)

where A is the amplitude of the motion, k the wave vector and w the angular velocity

Angle velocity and frequency are related

         w = 2π f

         f = w / 2π

from the equation w = 40 rad / s

        f = 40 / 2π

        f = 6.37 Hz

frequency and period are related

       f = 1 / T

       T = 1 / f

       T = 1 / 6.37

       T = 0.157 s
