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

<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.

zzz [600]

Answer:

option D

Explanation:

Sunspots are the spot that appears on the sun, this spot appears darker than the surrounding surface of the sun.

Sun magnetic field goes through a cycle and this cycle is called the Sunspot cycle. Every 11 years the magnetic field of the sun completely flips. This sunspot cycle affects activity on the surface of the sun.

Sunspot cycle is the pattern of solar activity where an average number of sunspot gradually increase and decrease.

Hence, the correct answer is option D

pshichka [43]

Answer:

A. 0.199 J

B. 0.0663 C

C = 0.0221 F

D. 12.68 ohms

Explanation:

From the question:

time duration, t = 0.28 seconds

Average power, P = 0.71 W

Average voltage, V = 3 V

A) Energy is given as:

E = P * t

=> E = 0.71 * 0.28 = 0.199 J

B) Electrical energy is also given as:

E = qV

where q = charge

=> q = E / V

∴ q = 0.199 / 3 = 0.0663 C

C) Capacitance is given as charge over voltage:

C = q / V

=> C = 0.0663 / 3 = 0.0221 F

D) Electrical power, P, can also be given as:

P = V^2 / R

where R = resistance

=> R = V^2 / P

R = 3^2 / 0.71 = 9 / 0.71 = 12.68 ohms
