Ok so light goes at a speed of <span>299,792 kilometers per second
so if my math is right 1.2 billion/299,792= 3335.646047926562 seconds

Answer:

Time, t = 4000 seconds

Explanation:

We know that,

1\ billion\ km=1.2\times 10^9\ km

1\ billion\ km=1.2\times 10^{12}\ m    

The speed of light, c=3\times 10^8\ m/s

Let t is the time taken by light. It can be calculated as :

t=\dfrac{d}{c}

t=\dfrac{1.2\times 10^{12}\ m}{3\times 10^8\ m/s}      

t = 4000 seconds

So, the time taken by the light is 4000 seconds, Hence, this is the required solution.

Explain how astronomers might use spectroscopy to determine the composition and temperature of a star.
Damm [24]

Everything starts from spectroscopy. Astronomers only have concentrated information at wavelengths that are emitted from the stars. What they do with this information is to obtain the frequency range of the stars and through spectroscopes they are responsible for dividing the radiation beams and determining the coincidence with the emission of those same waves, of chemical elements. From these observation techniques it is possible to obtain the composition and according to the color, obtaining characteristics such as temperature. The spectrum of stars consists of dark and bright lines called Fraunhofer lines. This spectrum is compared to the spectrum of different elements to find the composition of the stars. This is possible because the elements emit or absorb only specific wavelengths.

Which statement is correct?
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

The answer is "Choice C ".

Explanation:

The relationship between the E and V can be defined as follows:

\to E= -\Delta V

Let,

\to E= \frac{\delta V}{\delta x}

When E=0

\to   \frac{\delta V}{\delta x}=0

v is a constant value

Therefore, In the electric potential in a region is a constant value then the electric-field must be into zero that is everywhere in the given region, that's why in this question the "choice c" is correct.
