The wavelength of the radiation emitted by the star is 183 nm.

Explanation:

As per Wien's displacement law, the product of emitted wavelength and temperature of the star will be equal to 2.898 × 10⁻³ mK.

T*wavelength = 2.898 * 10^{-3}

So if the wavelength of the emitted radiation by Sun is given as 550 nm, then the temperature of the Sun will be

Temperature of Sun = \frac{2.898*10^{-3} }{wavelength}

Temperature of Sun = \frac{2.898*10^{-3} }{550 * 10^{-9} } = 5.27 * 10^{3} K

Then if the temperature of star is said to be 3.5 times hotter than Sun, then the temperature of Star = 3.5×5.27×10³ = 15.81×10³ K.

With this temperature, the wavelength of the emitted radiation can be found as follows:

Wavelength = \frac{2.898 * 10^{-3} }{15.81 * 10^{3} } =183 nm

So, the wavelength of the radiation emitted by the star is 183 nm.

Answer:

5.A mid-ocean ridge or mid-oceanic ridge is an underwater mountain range, formed by plate tectonics. This uplifting of the ocean floor occurs when convection currents rise in the mantle beneath the oceanic crust and create magma where two tectonic plates meet at a divergent boundary.

6.The Nazca plate is an oceanic plate, while the South American plate is continental. The fast moving Nazca plate is moving east towards the South American plate at a downward angle and converging. This process is called subduction, resulting in frequent earthquakes & production of the Andes Mountains.

7.The Nazca plate forms the southeastern part of the Pacific plate. The Nazca and the Pacific plate share both divergent and transform type of plate boundary. The Pacific and the Nazca plate are separating at an increasing rate of about 122-142mm/year.

8.Convection currents in the mantle and in the ocean are similar because they both are responsible for the shaping the Earth's surface. Two forces are behind the movement of Earth's huge land masses. Due to combined action of convection currents and gravity, Earth's plates are in constant motion.

an experiment is set up to measure the effect of a gasoline additive on fuel consumption rate. what would be the control in this
Tamiku [17]
The control setup in this experiment would be one tank that does not contain any of the additives. Since the tanks with the gasoline additives would need to be compared with a tank that is not affected by the results of these additives.

Assume your mass is 60 kg. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . How much work against gravity do you do when you climb
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

W=1705.2 J

Explanation:

Given that

mass ,m= 60 kg

Acceleration due to gravity ,g= 9.8 m/s²

Height ,h= 2.9 m

As we know that work done by a force given as

W = F . d

F=force

d=Displacement

W=work done by force

Now by putting the values

F= m g (Acting downward  )

d= h  (Upward)

W= m g h    ( work done against the force)

W= 60 x 9.8 x 2.9 J

W=1705.2 J

Therefore the answer will be 1705.2 J.

When do dementia come about
Cerrena [4.2K]
Dementia is a brain disease that causes a decline in memory and cognitive functioning at a much more rapid rate that is expected due to normal aging. There is no known cure and no set age that dementia can occur, but roughly 10% of people will develop it at some point in their lives. It typically affects older people and about 50% of people over 85 have dementia.
