a. 0; no change
b. 2430.5; redshift
c. 486.1; blue shift
d. 1944.4; blueshift

Answer:

e. 1944.4; redshift

Explanation:

The hydrogen Balmer line Hβ has a wavelength of 486.1 nm in the laboratory. It is observed in a quasar at 2430.5 nm. What is the change in wavelength (in nm) of this quasar? Is it a "redshift" or "blueshift"?

a. 0; no change

b. 2430.5; redshift

c. 486.1; blue shift

d. 1944.4; blueshift

e. 1944.4; redshift

Solution

wavelength is the distance between two successive crest or the difference between two successive trough.

it is also the ratio between velocity and frequency

difference in wavelength=\alpha 2-\alpha 1

2430.5 nm-486.1 nm=

1944.4; redshift

When an object moves away from us, the light is tilted to the red end of the spectrum(combination of seven colours), as its wavelengths get longer

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:d

Explanation:

Suppose V is the voltage of battery and R is the resistance of bulb

so Power drop for initial stage

P_1=\frac{V^2}{R}

When another identical bulb of same resistance is applied in parallel so voltage Drop across both the resistor will be same i.e. V

so Power consumed  P_2=\frac{V^2}{R}

so there is no change in power and hence no dip in brightness

Why does the moon appear to wax grow larger and then wane or get smaller
Umnica [9.8K]
When the moon is waxing it means that the sunlit fraction we can see from earth is getting larger. when it is wanning, the sunlit fraction is getting smaller and even as the phases of the moon change the total amount of sunlight the moon gets remains the same. half the moon is always in sunlight just as half the earth is always in sunlight. but because the period of rotation for the moon is the same as its period of revolution, on earth we always see the same side of the moon. If you lived on the far side of the moon, you would see the sun for half of each lunar day, but you would never see the earth.

A typical tire for a compact car is 22 inches in diameter. If the car is traveling at a speed of 60 mi/hr, find the number of re
Softa [21]

Answer:

rpm= 916.7436 rev/min

Explanation:

First determine the perimeter of the wheel, to know the horizontal distance it travels in a revolution:

perimeter= π×diameter= π × 22 inches × 0.0254(m/inche)= 1.7555m

Time we divide the speed of the car, which is the distance traveled horizontally over time unit, by the perimeter of the wheel that is the horizontal distance traveled in a revolution, this dates us the revolutions over the time unit:

revolutions per time= velocity/perimeter

velocity= (60 mi/hr) × (1609.34m/mi) = 96560m/h

revolutions per time= (96560.6m/h) / (1.7555m)= 55004.614 rev/hr

rpm= (55004.614 rev/hr) × (hr/60min)= 916.7436 rev/min
