Wien's displacement law is summarized by the equation
where
is the peak wavelength
is Wien's displacement constant
T is the absolute temperature at the surface of the star
For an O-type star, we have
T = 40,000 K
Therefore, its peak wavelength is
(b) Ultraviolet
We can answer this part by looking at the wavelength range of the different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum:
gamma rays
X-rays 1 nm - 1 pm
ultraviolet 380 nm - 1 nm
visible light 750 nm - 380 nm
infrared
microwaves 1 mm -
radio waves > 1 mm
The peak wavelength of this star is
Therefore, it falls in the ultraviolet region.
(c) No
The Keck telescopes is actually a system of 2 telescopes in the Keck Observatory, located in Mauna kea, Hawai.
The two telescopes, thanks to several instruments, are able to detect much of the electromagnetic radiation in the visible ligth and infrared parts of the spectrum. However, they are not able to detect light in the ultraviolet region: therefore, they cannot observe the star mentioned in the previous part of the problem.
(a)
The change in energy of the transferred charge is given by:
where
q is the charge transferred
is the potential difference between the ground and the clouds
Here we have
So the change in energy is
(b) 7921 m/s
If the energy released is used to accelerate the car from rest, than its final kinetic energy would be
where
m = 950 kg is the mass of the car
v is the final speed of the car
Here the energy given to the car is
Therefore by re-arranging the equation, we find the final speed of the car:
Hook's law states that
where F is the applied force, k is the spring constant, and is the change in length.
Plugging your values, we have
