Answer:
c. detecting the gravitational effect of an orbiting planet (The Wobble"") by looking for the Doppler shifts in the star's spectrum
Explanation:
In a solar system the mass of the star and planets affect each other's orbital movements. The center of gravity of a star and a planet is inside the star. This causes the star to be closer and farther from the Earth at different times. Due to this wobble the star appears to be red shifted when it is farther and blue shifted when it is closer.
When the mass of the planet is high, like a hot Jupiter it causes more wobble i.e., change in radial velocity. This makes it easier to detect the planet. The earliest hot Jupiter found by this method is the planet 51 Pegasi b.
Hope this provides some answers
Hey there,
Your question states: <span>How long does it take for light from a star that is 8 light-years away to reach earth?
It take just about
(</span>
8 earth years) <span> for light from a star that is 8 light-years away to reach earth. That is how </span>

it would take.
Hope this helps.

Answer:
Time = 6 years
Explanation:
First, we will calculate the no. of half life periods required to reduce the mass of Protactinium to the given value:

where,
n = no. of half-life periods = ?
m = initial mass = 86.3 g
m' = remaining mass = 10.8 g
Therefore,

Since the bases are the same. Therefore equating powers:
n = 3
Now we calculate the time:

<u>Time = 6 years</u>
