Answer:

the umbra and penumbra

Explanation:

The two parts of a shadow are the umbra and penumbra.

A shadow is an expression formed when light from a source is cut blocked by an opaque body.

Most shadows are made up of two parts, umbra and penumbra.

  • The umbra is the darkest, and the innermost part of a shadow.
  • In the penumbra, only a portion of the light source is blocked. It is more of like a partial shadow.

The umbra is directly formed by light which impinges on an opaque body and it completely cut off.

Perform the calculation and report your answer using sig figs. 657.70 - 26.543
Anton [14]

Answer:

The answer is 631.157

Explanation:

The question requested that the answer to the subtraction of 26.543 from 657.70 must be written using significant figures.

Here are a few tips about how to Identify significant figures.

1) It should be noted that <u>the number "0" is what is usually (but not always) affected</u> while trying to identify significant figures. Hence, <u>all other numbers/digits are always significant</u>. For example, 26.543 has five significant figures.

2) The zeros found between these "other numbers/digits" are also significant. For example, 2202 has four significant figures.

3) In the case of a decimal, the tailing zeros or the final zero is also significant. 657.70 and 657.07 have five significant figures.

Now, back to the question

657.70  - 26.543  = 631.157.

Our final answer does not have a zero, hence all the digits (six) are significant.

Which telescopes must be placed in orbit around earth in order to observe short-wavelength radiation?.
son4ous [18]

Space telescopes must be placed in orbit around earth in order to observe short-wavelength radiation.

<h3>What is telescope?</h3>

A telescope is an optical instrument that uses lenses, curved mirrors, or a combination of both to watch distant objects.

When atoms in a gas reach this temperature, they travel so quickly that when they collide, they release X-ray photons with wavelengths smaller than 10 nanometers.

Because the Earth's atmosphere prevents all X-rays from space, these wavelengths must be seen using space telescopes.

To study short-wavelength radiation, space telescopes must be put in orbit around the Earth.

Hence, space telescope is the correct answer.
