Your question kind of petered out there towards the end and you didn't specify
the terms, so I'll pick my own.

The "Hubble Constant" hasn't yet been pinned down precisely, so let's pick a
round number that's in the neighborhood of the last 20 years of measurements:

             <em>70 km per second per megaparsec</em>.

We'll also need to know that 1 parsec = about 3.262 light years.

So the speed of your receding galaxy is

         (Distance in LY) x (1 megaparsec / 3,262,000 LY) x (70 km/sec-mpsc) =

              (150 million) x  (1 / 3,262,000) x (70 km/sec) =

                                 <em>3,219 km/sec  </em>in the direction away from us (rounded)

A distant star gives off a visible range of light whose color depends on its temperature. Which model of light does this example
aleksklad [387]

The statement 'a distant star gives off a visible range of light whose color depends on its temperature' is supported by the wave model​.

<h3>What is wavelength?</h3>

The wavelength can be defined as the periodic distance of a given wave that repeats in a constant way.

The emissivity of particles is a function of both wavelength and temperature of a given material/object. Visible wavelengths range from 700 nm to 400 nm (violet color).

Star temperature largely determines its color, blue stars are warmer than yellow and red stars, and red stars are cooler than yellow stars.

Track and field is an individual sport.<br> True or False?

Most events in track and field are individual except relay races. Therefore, it would probably be true.
