An astronomer would most likely use the doppler effect to question 12 options: 1) measure the color of a star. 2) measure the pa

rallax of a star. 3) measure the brightness of a star. 4) measure the shift in the emission spectrum of a star.

Answer:

4) measure the shift in the emission spectrum of a star.

Explanation:

Doppler effect occurs when a source emitting waves is moving relative to an observer (or when the observer is moving relative to the source). When this occurs, the frequency (and the wavelength) of the waves emitted by the source appears shifted to the observer.

In astronomy, this effect occurs with stars and galaxies. In fact, stars (and galaxies as well) move relative to us. Since stars are source of visible light (which is a form of electromagnetic radiation, so it is a form of wave), the frequency and the wavelength of the light we observe from a star is shifted. In particular, two situations are possible:

- When a star is moving away from us, its wavelength appears to be increased compared to the original wavelength: therefore, the spectrum of visible light shifts towards the red (which is the color with longer wavelength), and this is called red-shift

- When a star is moving towards us, its wavelength appears to be decreased compared to its original wavelength: therefore, the spectrum of visible light shifts towards the blue (shorter wavelength), and this is called blue-shift

A 7.36 g sample of copper is contaminated with a additional 0.51 g sample of zinc. Suppose an atomic mass measurement was perfor
yawa3891 [41]
The molar mass of the sample is equal to the summation of the molar mass of the elementas multiplied by the abundance of the elements by mole. In this case, copper has an abundance of 93.69 percent while zinc has 6.31 percent. In this case, the average molecular weight is 63.67 g/mol
