Physics
1 answer:
anzhelika [568]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

100,000 times

Explanation:

Luminosity is the measure of brightness of a star. It is measured by examining the radiant energy emitted by the stars per second. Rigel's radius is about 80 times that of the Sun's radius. Therefore, its  luminosity is about 100,000 times the sun’s luminosity.

What is/are the difference between wavelength and spectral lines?
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

<u><em>Definition of spectral line: </em></u><em>one of a series of linear images formed by a spectrograph or similar instrument and corresponding to a narrow portion of the spectrum of the radiation emitted or absorbed by a particular source.</em>

<em />

<u><em>Definition of Wavelength:</em></u><em> can be defined as the distance between two successive crests or troughs of a wave. It is measured in the direction of the wave. ... Wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency. This means the longer the wavelength, lower the frequency.</em>

<em />

<em>So, the spectrum is the range of wavelength in visible light. While, wavelength is the length of a wave.</em>

On the moon, the acceleration of gravity is 1.6 m/s2. If an object has a
Amanda [17]

Answer:

5.1 kg

Explanation:

Its mass on the moon is 5.1 kg because mass is an intrinsic property of a material and does not change with location. Although, its weight might vary because its acceleration of gravity g is dependent on the mass M and radius r of the planet(in this case, moon) involved g = GM/r². Since weight W = mg is dependent o g, weight varies but mass remains constant.
