Answer:
In electromagnetic waves, energy is transferred through vibrations of electric and magnetic fields. In sound waves, energy is transferred through vibration of air particles or particles of a solid through which the sound travels. In water waves, energy is transferred through the vibration of the water particles.
Answer:
Both are electromagnetic waves
Explanation:
Both microwaves and light waves form a part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Electromagnetic waves are produced as a result of oscillating magnetic and electric fields. when arranged in order of frequencies and wavelengths they form the electromagnetic spectrum.
<span>A mountain is a type of constructive force. This is because the mountains are formed (or "constructed") through the convergence of land plates. When the two (or more) plates come together, they cause the land at the fault line to shift upward, leading to the formation of mountains.</span>
Answer:
b) Betelgeuse would be
times brighter than Sirius
c) Since Betelgeuse brightness from Earth compared to the Sun is
the statement saying that it would be like a second Sun is incorrect
Explanation:
The start brightness is related to it luminosity thought the following equation:
(1)
where
is the brightness,
is the star luminosity and
, the distance from the star to the point where the brightness is calculated (measured). Thus:
b)
and
where
is the Sun luminosity (
) but we don't need to know this value for solving the problem.
is light years.
Finding the ratio between the two brightness we get:

c) we can do the same as in b) but we need to know the distance from the Sun to the Earth, which is
. Then

Notice that since the star luminosities are given with respect to the Sun luminosity we don't need to use any value a simple states the Sun luminosity as the unit, i.e 1. From this result, it is clear that when Betelgeuse explodes it won't be like having a second Sun, it brightness will be 5 orders of magnitude smaller that our Sun brightness.
