Bumek [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

<em>The number 0.0217 has 3 significant digits</em>

Explanation:

<u>Significant Digits </u>

These are digits that contribute to the significance of the number. Some rules apply to discard the non-significant digits like:

  • Leading zeros
  • Trailing zeros (with exceptions)

Our number is 0.0217 has two leading zeros before the 2 because they only occupy space to indicate the order of magnitude of the number. Only the 2,1,7 are significant digits, thus

The number 0.0217 has 3 significant digits

You observe a distant galaxy. You find that a spectral line, resulting from an electron transition in hydrogen, is shifted from
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The galaxy is moving away from the observer

Explanation: when a galaxy is moving away from us, the light we percieve from it is "streched". Since the wavelength has an inverse raltionship whith frequency, the longer the wavelength is, the lower the frequency. And lower frequencies correspond to red and infrarred light.

So when we see the light has shifted to the infrarred part of the spectrum, it means the source is traveling away from us, making the light waves we percieve streched and move from visible light to infrarred.
