The absolute magnitude of the star would be +5.
Answer:
λ = 0.4 x 10⁻⁶ m = 400 nm
Explanation:
The relationship between frequency, wavelength and speed of an electromagnetic wave is given as follows:
where,
c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
f = frequency of the light wave = 7.5 x 10¹⁴ Hz
λ = wavelength of the light = ?
Therefore,
<u>λ = 0.4 x 10⁻⁶ m = 400 nm</u>
Answer:
According to Einstein's famous equation, matter can convert into energy (and viceversa) as follows:
where
E is the energy
m is the mass
c is the speed of light (
)
Given the huge value of 
, we see that even a tiny amount of matter is able to release a huge amount of energy, when the whole mass is converted into energy. This is precisely what happens in nuclear reactions. For example, in the process of nuclear fusion (that occurs in the core of the stars), two light nuclei fuse together into a heavier nucleus. The mass of the final nucleus is lower than the total mass of the initial nuclei, so part of the mass has been converted into energy according to the equation above: this is why the amount of energy produced by stars is so big.
Answer:
Explanation: A bar of an unknown metal has a length of 0.975 m at 45°C and a length of 0.972 m at. 23°C.
Sediments are pieces of rock that come from other rocks that were eroded or broken by wind, water or other mechanical forces. Debris are pieces of other materials that were also swept away.
When these sediments and debris settle, they create layers. These layers are called beds. In time, several layers of other sediments and debris form on top of each other which press down onto the previous layers. Because of the pressure from the weight of the newer layers, the sediments and debris are pressed together and go through cementation. These then produce sedimentary rocks.
Metamorphic rocks form when rocks undergo heat and pressure. The heat comes from the friction resulting from the pressure. The heat can also come from radioactive decay. The rocks then slowly bake into new rocks called metamorphic rocks.
Igneous rocks form when magma and lava cool down. Magma is molten fluid found beneath the surface of the Earth. Lava is magma that has reached the surface of the Earth. When they cool down, they crystallize which make igneous rocks.
The difference between intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks is that one is made beneath the Earth and the other is made on the surface of the Earth. When magma cools, it takes a long time and the product of this cooling are intrusive igneous rocks. On the other hand, extrusive igneous rock is the result of lava cooling, which does not take as long to cool down because it occurs on the surface of the Earth.
Examples of the following types of rocks:
Sedimentary: limestone, sandstone, siltstone
Metamorphic: Marble, gneiss, slate
Igneous: Gabbro (intrusive), granite (Intrusive), obsidian (extrusive)
