Explain how astronomers might use spectroscopy to determine the composition and temperature of a star.
Damm [24]

Everything starts from spectroscopy. Astronomers only have concentrated information at wavelengths that are emitted from the stars. What they do with this information is to obtain the frequency range of the stars and through spectroscopes they are responsible for dividing the radiation beams and determining the coincidence with the emission of those same waves, of chemical elements. From these observation techniques it is possible to obtain the composition and according to the color, obtaining characteristics such as temperature. The spectrum of stars consists of dark and bright lines called Fraunhofer lines. This spectrum is compared to the spectrum of different elements to find the composition of the stars. This is possible because the elements emit or absorb only specific wavelengths.

Describe what happens to the particles of a liquid, in terms of movement and kinetic energy, as it is cooled to its freezing poi
nataly862011 [7]
As a system is cooled to its freezing point, the kinetic energy of the particles in the system will lower so the movement are much slower. Cooling means taking out heat from the system. This process is a physical change because it is only the phase of the system is changed and it is still the substance after the process.
