Answer:

a. apparent magnitude

Explanation:

Apparent magnitude is a measure of the brightness of a star (that is, amount of light) received on Earth. Star's apparent magnitude depends on:

  • star luminosity
  • star distance from Earth
  • extinction of the light, for example, caused by interstellar dust.

Apparent magnitude because Apparent is kinda like when something is obvious. So that's how I think of it.

Which statement best explains the speed of light waves as they travel from gas to solid?
igomit [66]

Answer:

Light waves slow down as they travel from gas to solid.

Explanation:

The speed of light is often quoted with reference to a vacuum. Light travels fastest in a vacuum and in a gas.

When light travels through other media such as solids or liquids, the speed of light is decreased due to absorption and scattering of photons by molecules as well as remissions.

Hence the speed of light decreases from gas to solid.

DanielleElmas [232]
During the internal examination, the pathologist drains the intestines, removes any undigested food and feces, and examines the contents of the stomach. This examination could give the pathologist clues of the time of death, and the location of death.  The process of digesting and defecation vary from person to person, the entire process is generally considered to take approximately 40 hours in adults

A light bulb uses 0.5 amperes from a source of 120 volts. How much power is used by the bulb? 
Sladkaya [172]

Power = voltage(V) * current(I)

          = 120 * 0.5

Power = 60 watts

How are changes in energy and matter related
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

According to Einstein's famous equation, matter can convert into energy (and viceversa) as follows:

E=mc^2

where

E is the energy

m is the mass

c is the speed of light (3\cdot 10^8 m/s)

Given the huge value of c^2, we see that even a tiny amount of matter is able to release a huge amount of energy, when the whole mass is converted into energy. This is precisely what happens in nuclear reactions. For example, in the process of nuclear fusion (that occurs in the core of the stars), two light nuclei fuse together into a heavier nucleus. The mass of the final nucleus is lower than the total mass of the initial nuclei, so part of the mass has been converted into energy according to the equation above: this is why the amount of energy produced by stars is so big.
