Mirrors reflect light waves.

The reason your able to see yourself in mirror is because it's a reflective surface and light comes and reflects of a reflective surface, it's not just because somethings shiny.

Explain how a star's absorption spectrum and the concept of red shift help support the Big Bang Theory.

marta [7]

Answer:

Red shift supports the big bang theory. ... The light from distant galaxies is red shifted (this tells us the galaxies are moving away from us) and the further away the galaxy the greater the red shift (this tells us that the more distant the galaxy the faster it is moving). Constellations look like they are moving because earth is rotating on it's axis.

A 170 kg astronaut (including space suit) acquires a speed of 2.25 m/s by pushing off with his legs from a 2600 kg space capsule

saw5 [17]

Explanation:

Mass of the astronaut, m₁ = 170 kg

Speed of astronaut, v₁ = 2.25 m/s

mass of space capsule, m₂ = 2600 kg

Let v₂ is the speed of the space capsule. It can be calculated using the conservation of momentum as :

initial momentum = final momentum

Since, initial momentum is zero. So,

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=0$

$170\ kg\times 2.25\ m/s+2600\ kg\times v_2=0$

$v_2=-0.17\ m/s$

So, the change in speed of the space capsule is 0.17 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

In a Young's double-slit experiment, 610-nm-wavelength light is sent through the slits. The intensity at an angle of 2.95° from

Sliva [168]

Answer:

spacing between the slits is 405.32043 × $10^{-9}$ m

Explanation:

Given data

wavelength = 610 nm

angle = 2.95°

central bright fringe = 85%

to find out

spacing between the slits

solution

we know that spacing between slit is

I = 4 $I_{0}$ × cos²∅/2

I/4 $I_{0}$ = cos²∅/2

here I/4 $I_{0}$ is 85 % = 0.85

0.85 = cos²∅/2

cos∅/2 = √0.85

∅ = 2 × $cos^{-1}$ 0.921954

∅ = 45.56°

∅ = 45.56° ×π/180 = 0.7949 rad

and we know that here

∅ = 2π d sinθ / wavelength

d = ∅× wavelength / ( 2π sinθ )

put all value

d = 0.795 × 610× $10^{-9}$ / ( 2π sin2.95 )

d = 405.32043 × $10^{-9}$ m

spacing between the slits is 405.32043 × $10^{-9}$ m
