You overhear two students discussing the topic of Doppler shift.

Physics
1 answer:
9966 [12]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

agree with student 2, disagree with student 1

Explanation:

If you want to know if the wavelength of light was shifted you have to know the original wavelengths

Since we know the absorption spectrum for elements like hydrogen, we can look for these absorption lines in the star's spectra and figure out what direction these lines are shifted and tell if the star is moving away or towards us

The color of the star refers to the temperature of the star's surface which is not related to the doppler shift of the star

The spreading of waves behind an aperture is more for long wavelengths and less for short wavelengths.Less for long wavelengths
Allisa [31]

Answer:

Increase in wavelength of incident wave also increases the spread angle or spread of the interference pattern.

Explanation:

Solution:-

- The diffraction occurs when light bends in the same medium. The bending is the result of light waves "squeezing" through small openings or "curving" around sharp edges.

- Moreover, waves diffract best when the size of the diffraction opening (or grting or groove) corresponds to the size of the wavelength. Hence, light diffracts more through small openings than through larger openings.

- The formula for diffraction shows a direct relationship between the angle of diffraction (theta) and wavelength:

                                         d sin (θ) = m λ

Where,

     λ : Wavelength , θ : The spread angle , d : Slit opening or grating

- We can see that the wavelength λ and spread angle θ are related proportionally. So if we increase the wavelength of incident wave we also increase the spread angle or spread of the interference pattern.

A student starts a food fight by throwing a 0.5 kg burrito at some girl he likes. He throws it kind-of hard so he accelerates it
Elenna [48]

Explanation:

m = mass of burrito thrown by the student = 0.5 kg

a = acceleration of the burrito thrown by the student = 3 m/s²

F = force applied by the student on the burrito = ?

According to newton's second law , the net force on an object is the product of its mass and acceleration. it is given as

F = ma

inserting the values

F = (0.5) (3)

F = 1.5 N

hence the net force on the burrito comes out to be 1.5 N

A child uses a rubber band to launch a bottle cap at an angle of 37.0° above the horizontal. The cap travels a horizontal distan
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

Initial velocity will be 1.356 m/sec      

Explanation:

Let the initial speed = u

Angle at which rubber band is launched = 37°

Horizontal component of initial velocity u_x=ucos\Theta =ucos37^{\circ}=0.7986u

Time is given as t = 1.20 sec

Distance in horizontal direction = 1.30 m

We know that distance = speed × time

So time t=\frac{distance}{speed}

1.20=\frac{1.3}{0.7986u}

u=1.356m/sec

So initial velocity will be 1.356 m/sec

Is a battery a resistor
-Dominant- [34]
A battery is a real-life voltage source. A battery can be thought of as a perfect voltage source with a small resistor (called internal resistance) in series. ... The terminal voltage equals the emf minus the voltage drop across the internal resistance (current of the external circuit times the internal resistance.)
