Answer:
First, as you may know, the light travels at a given velocity.
In vaccum, this velocity is c = 3x10^8 m/s.
And we know that:
distance = velocity*time
Now, if some object (like a star ) is really far away, the light that comes from that star may take years to reach the Earth.
This means that the images that the astronomers see today, actually happened years and years ago (So the night sky is like a picture of the "past" of the universe)
Also, for example, if an astronomer sees some particular thing, he can apply a model (a "simplification" of some phenomena that is used to simplify it an explain it) and with the model, the scientist can infer the information of the given thing some time before it was seen.

Selenium is a semiconductor.
Elements in the column IV and VI of the periodic table are referred to as Semiconductor.
Selenium lies in the column VI along with Tellurium
Some other elements of the column IV are silicon, germanium, and tin
Answer:
The magnitude of change in momentum is (2mv).
Explanation:
The momentum of an object is given by the product of mass and velocity with which it is moving.
Let the mass of ball is m. A tennis player smashes a ball of mass m horizontally at a vertical wall. The ball rebounds at the same speed v with which it struck the wall.
Initial speed of the ball is v and final speed, when it rebounds, is (-v). The change in momentum is given by :
p = final momentum - initial momentum

So, the magnitude of change in momentum is (2mv).
