Answer:

The other person is right, the answer is they appear to shift towards blue.

This shifts the star’s spectral lines toward the blue end of the spectrum. If the star is moving away from us, it’s waves are effectively stretched out when they reach earth, increasing their wavelength. This shifts the star’s spectral lines toward the red end of the spectrum.

How many minutes would it take a light wave to travel from the planet Venus to Earth? (Average distance from Venus to Earth = 28

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

$t=2.51min$

Explanation:

The time taken by the light to travel a given distance is defined as:

$t=\frac{d}{c}$

Here c is obviously the speed of light. Now we convert the average distance form Venus to Earth to meters:

$28*10^{6}mi*\frac{1609.34}{1mi}=4.51*10^{10}m$

Finally, we calculate the minutes taken by the light to travel from Venus to Earth:

$t=\frac{4.51*10^{10}m}{3*10^8\frac{m}{s}}\\t=150.33s*\frac{1min}{60s}=2.51min$

A 60cm long string of an ordinary guitar is tuned to produce the note a4 (frequency 440hz) when vibrating in its fundamental mod

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

0.78 m

Explanation:

The relationship between wavelength and frequency of a wave is given by

$v=f \lambda$

where

v is the speed of the wave

f is the frequency

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

For the sound wave in this problem, we have

$f=440 Hz$ is the frequency

v = 344 m/s is the speed of sound in air

Substituting into the equation and re-arranging it, we find the wavelength:

$\lambda=\frac{v}{f}=\frac{344 m/s}{440 Hz}=0.78 m$
