Answer:

the intensity of the sun on the other planet is a hundredth of that of the intensity of the sun on earth.

That is,

Intensity of sun on the other planet, Iₒ = (intensity of the sun on earth, Iₑ)/100

Explanation:

Let the intensity of light be represented by I

Let the distance of the star be d

I ∝ (1/d²)

I = k/d²

For the earth,

Iₑ = k/dₑ²

k = Iₑdₑ²

For the other planet, let intensity be Iₒ and distance be dₒ

Iₒ = k/dₒ²

But dₒ = 10dₑ

Iₒ = k/(10dₑ)²

Iₒ = k/100dₑ²

But k = Iₑdₑ²

Iₒ = Iₑdₑ²/100dₑ² = Iₑ/100

Iₒ = Iₑ/100

Meaning the intensity of the sun on the other planet is a hundredth of that of the intensity on earth.

Special relativity can be used to study an object in which frame of reference?
Tresset [83]
Special relativity led the path for general relativity; special relativity is in a sense a special application of the rules of general relativity. While general relativity is in position to tackle all of these problems, special relativity can tackle only problems in inertial frames. Inertial frame means that the frame of reference is inot accelerating. So, we disqualify answers A and D. However, remember that moving in a circle means that there is an acceleration, the centrifugal one, even if the speed does not change. Hence C is also incorrect.
The correct answer is B, since if there is no change in velocity, the frame does not accelerate and it is inertial.

How does diet affect diabetes
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

A diet high in fat, calories, and cholesterol increases your risk of diabetes. A poor diet can lead to obesity (another risk factor for diabetes) and other health problems. A healthy diet is high in fiber and low in fat, cholesterol, salt, and sugar. Also, remember to watch your portion size.

The electron in a ground-state h atom absorbs a photon of wavelength 97. 25 nm. to what energy level does the electron move?
Alecsey [184]

The electron in a ground-state H atom absorbs a photon of wavelength 97. 25 nm.  Energy level till where the electron move is 4

Rydberg's equation is formula which signifies relation of wavelength of incident photon and the energy level.

Rydberg's equation is used to find out the relation between the wavelength and the Energy Levels:

1/λ = RZ² (1/n₁² - 1/n₂²)

where, λ is wavelength = 97.25 nm

           R is the Rydberg constant = 1.0967 × 10⁷ m

           n₁ is the initial energy level i.e. the Ground state, n₁  = 1

           n₂ is the higher energy level

On substitution of the above value:

1/97.25 × 10⁻⁹ = 1.0967 × 10⁷ ( 1 -  1/n₂²)

On solving,

⇒ n₂ = 4

Hence, the higher energy level is 4

An oscillator creates periodic waves on two strings made ofthe same material. The tension is the same in both strings.If the str
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

c. wavelength

Explanation:

The speed of the wave on the string is given by

v= \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} }

Here, \mu is the mass per unit length and T is the tension in the string.

For the different thickness, the mass per unit length is different. Therefore, the wave speed is different in the two strings.

The frequency of the oscillations depends upon the oscillator. So, the frequency is same for the two strings by using same oscillator.

The frequency and speed relation is,

f= γλ

λ= f/γ

Since frequency is constant, the wavelength of the waves different as the speeds are different.

How does earths magnetic field protect us from solar flares
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

Earth's magnetic field serves to deflect most of the solar wind, whose charged particles would otherwise strip away the ozone layer that protects the Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation.
