How can astronomers infer wich elements are found in a star

Just recently, astronomers discovered a distant solar system, 127 light years away with up to seven planets orbiting a Sun-like star called HD 10180.

Like the very first exoplanet 51-Pegusus discovered in 1995, this new system was found using the science of spectroscopy.

In fact, most of the roughly 500 planets so far found orbiting other stars, were detected by the same method.

Spectroscopy — the use of light from a distant object to work out the object is made of — could be the single-most powerful tool astronomers use, says Professor Fred Watson from the Australian Astronomical Observatory.

"You take the light from a star, planet or galaxy and pass it through a spectroscope, which is a bit like a prism letting you split the light into its component colours.

"It lets you see the chemicals being absorbed or emitted by the light source. From this you can work out all sorts of things," says Watson.

When heated or when electrically charged, certain chemicals emit radiation at very specific colours or wavelengths called emission lines.

There are also absorption lines that appear as dark marks dividing the spectrum at specific wavelengths.

Absorption lines are created when light from something hot like a star passes through a cooler gas, cancelling out the emission lines the chemicals in the gas would normally create.

When you look at the spectrum of a star, for example, you can see absorption lines because the star's outer atmosphere is cooler than the central part, explains Watson.

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

The correct answer is d

Explanation:

In this exercise they ask us which statement is correct, for this we plan the solution of the problem, this is a Doppler effect problem, it is the frequency change due to the relative speed between the emitter and the receiver of sound.

The expression for the Doppler effect of a moving source is  

f ’= (v / (v- + v_s) f  

From this expression we see that if the speed the sound source is different from zero feels a change in the  frequency.

The correct answer is d

Answer the question based on this waveform.
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Cannot be determined from the given information

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Velocity = 24 m/s

Period = 3 seconds

To find the amplitude of the wave;

Mathematically, the amplitude of a wave is given by the formula;

x = Asin(ωt + ϕ)

Where;

x is displacement of the wave measured in meters.

A is the amplitude.

ω is the angular frequency measured in rad/s.

t is the time period measured in seconds.

ϕ is the phase angle.

Hence, the information provided in this exercise isn't sufficient to find the amplitude of the waveform.

However, the given parameters can be used to calculate the frequency and wavelength of the wave.

A transform boundary occurs where two tectonic plates _____.?
gladu [14]

Where they slide over each other.

Transform boundaries are formed or occur when two plates slide past each other in a sideways motion.  They do not tear or crunch into each other (but the rock in between them may be ground up) and therefore none of the spectacular features are seen such as occur in divergent and convergent boundaries.

In a transform boundary, neither plate is added to at the boundary nor destroyed.  They are marked in some places by features like  stream beds that have been split in half and the two halves moved in opposite directions.

<em>1) The relationship in between the electrical energy carriesd by the transmission wires and the amount of the heat loss in it is due to the reason that when the electricity is flown through the wires there are some resistance found in these wires which creates a disturbance in the efficient flow of electricty.Also we know that current have an heating effect when it is in motion as due to if a large amount or magnitude of electricity is flown through the transmission wires it will carry a larger heat effected and also due to the resistance is provided by the wires and so the process of heat loss takes place.</em>

<em>2)It is important to minimize current in transmission wires due to minimize the heat loss and resistance on flowing electric current to make the system more efficient </em>
