Answer:

1. Luminosity

2.Apparent brightness

Explanation:

There are two factors on which brightness of star appear to be in the sky

The two factors are

1. Luminosity

2.Apparent brightness

1.Luminosity :It is defined as the total energy emitted by the object in a given time.Luminosity vary with the distance of observer from the star.Luminosity is a intrinsic property which depends on the fundamental chemical composition and structure of the material.Luminosity is depends on the size of star.Lager the star luminosity will be more.

2.Apparent brightness: It is defined as how bright a star appears from an observer on the earth and the amount of starlight reaching the earth.if the distance is large then the brightness decreases.When the distance of star from us small then the brightness of star increases.Distance is inversely proportional to brightness of the star.

The speed of sound in an ideal gas is given by the relationship v = γRTM−−−−√ , where R - the universal gas constant = 8.314 J/m

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

Explanation:

1.) $v=\sqrt{\frac{yRT}{m} } \\\\=\sqrt{\frac{1.4\times8.3\times293}{0.029} }\\\\=342.64m/s$

2.) $4\pi r^2I=P\\\\\\P=4\pi(vt)^2I=4\pi (342.64\times3)^2(10^{-2})=1.33\times10^5watt$

The Lyman series comprises a set of spectral lines. All of these lines involve a hydrogen atom whose electron undergoes a change

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

a) 1.2*10^-7 m

b) 1.0*10^-7 m

c) 9.7*10^-8 m

d) ultraviolet region

Explanation:

To find the different wavelengths you use the following formula:

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_H(1-\frac{1}{n^2})$

RH: Rydberg constant = 1.097 x 10^7 m^−1.

(a) n=2

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=(1.097*10^7m^{-1})(1-\frac{1}{(2)^2})=8227500m^{-1}\\\\\lambda=1.2*10^{-7}m$

(b)

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=(1.097*10^7m^{-1})(1-\frac{1}{(3)^2})=9751111,1m^{-1}\\\\\lambda=1.0*10^{-7}m$

(c)

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=(1.097*10^7m^{-1})(1-\frac{1}{(4)^2})=10284375m^{-1}\\\\\lambda=9.7*10^{-8}m$

(d) The three lines belong to the ultraviolet region.

a group of students working in a high school chemistry lab believe they have discovered a new element! how exciting! upon furthe

maw [93]

Explanation:

From the experiment:

Number of protons = 74

Number of neutrons = 110

Number of protons in an element is the atomic number of the element. It is used to locate and position and element on the periodic table.

For a neutral or uncharged atom, the number of protons is the same as the number of electrons.

The element whose number of protons or atomic number if 74 is Tungsten

Mass number = 74 + 110 = 184g/mol
