Answer :

(a) The speed of light in three significant figures is, 3.00\times 10^1m/s

(b) The speed of light in five significant figures is, 2.9979\times 10^1m/s

(c) The speed of light in seven significant figures is, 2.997924\times 10^1m/s

Explanation :

Significant figures : The figures in a number which express the value -the magnitude of a quantity to a specific degree of accuracy is known as significant digits.

As we are given that the speed of light is:

2.99792458\times 10^1m/s

In the given value, there are 9 significant figures.

(a) Now we have to determine the speed of light in three significant figures.

For three significant figure, we round off the digits and we get:

3.00\times 10^1m/s

(b) Now we have to determine the speed of light in five significant figures.

2.9979\times 10^1m/s

(c) Now we have to determine the speed of light in seven significant figures.

2.997924\times 10^1m/s

From laboratory measurements, we know that a particular spectral line formed by hydrogen appears at a wavelength of 121.6 nanome
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

b) The star is moving away from us.

Explanation:

If an object moves toward us, the light waves it emits are compressed - the wavelength of the light will be shorter, making the light bluer. On the other hand, if an object moves away from us, the light waves are stretched, making it redder. If from laboratory measurements we know that a specific hydrogen spectral line appears at the wavelength of 121.6 nanometers (nm) and the spectrum of a particular star shows the same hydrogen line appearing at the wavelength of 121.8 nm, we can conclude that the star is moving away from npos, since the wavelength related to that star is more expanded.

A body weights 50 N in air and 45 N when wholly immersed in water calculate (i) the loss in weight of the body in water (ii) the
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

difference  \: in \: weight = 150n - 100n = 50n

Now,buyantant force

difference \: in \: weight \: = volume(body) \times density \: of \: water \:  \times g

so;

50 =  {v}^{b}  \times 1 \times  {10}^{3}  \times 9.8m {s}^{2}

{v}^{b}  =  \frac{50}{1000 } \times 9.8

=  \frac{50}{9800}

= 0.0051

Now,

mass \: in \: air \:  = 150n =  \frac{150}{9.8kg}

density =  \frac{weght}{volume}

=  \frac{150}{0.0051}  \times 9.8 \\ x = 3000

And now,

specific \: density \:  =  \frac{density of \: the \: body}{density \: of \: water}

=  \frac{3000}{1000}

= 3

Hence that,specific density of a given body is 3

What does the term “energy crisis” mean?
Zielflug [23.3K]
An energy crisis<span> is any significant (bottleneck; logistics; or price rise) in the supply of energy resources to an economy. In popular literature, it often refers to one of the energy sources used at a certain time and place, in particular those that supply national electricity grids or those used as fuel in vehicles.</span>
