If you detected radio signals with an average wavelength of 67 cm and suspected that they came from a civilization on a distant

Earth-like exoplanet, roughly how much of a change in wavelength (in cm) should you expect to detect as a result of the orbital motion of the distant exoplanet?

Answer:

0.0066553 cm

Explanation:

v = Earth's average orbital velocity = 29.8 km/s

c = Speed of light = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

\lambda = Wavelength = 67 cm

\Delta\lambda = Change in wavelength

The Doppler shift is given by

\dfrac{v}{c}=\dfrac{\Delta \lambda}{\lambda_0}\\\Rightarrow \Delta \lambda=\dfrac{v\lambda_0}{c}\\\Rightarrow \Delta \lambda=\dfrac{29800\times 0.67}{3\times 10^8}\\\Rightarrow \Delta\lambda=0.000066553\ m=0.0066553\ cm

The change in wavelength is 0.0066553 cm

5. A ball is sitting at rest on the floor. What will happen if a balanced force is applied to the ball? *
Leno4ka [110]

When the balanced force is applied on the ball It will roll away from the force.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • A ball lies on the floor in rest. If the balanced force is applied to

         the ball, the force will push away.

  • The forces would include gravity and the forces of air particles entering the ball from almost all directions.
  • And the ground is exercising the force and shifting away from the impact.

What is the source of all mechanical waves?
frutty [35]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. Vibration.

Explanation:

Mechanical waves is formed by the oscillation of matter and therefore transfer energy from one medium to the other. Unlike electromagnetic waves, mechanical waves need some medium to propagate. It requires an initial energy input and thus carries this energy when it propagates. There are three types of mechanical waves namely transverse waves, longitudinal waves and surface waves. Examples of such waves are sound waves, water waves and seismic waves.
