A spectral line from a star is observed to have a wavelength of 656.5 nm. The rest wavelength of this line is 656.8 nm. (a) What

is the speed of the star, and (b) is it approaching or receding from the Earth? (c) If the star’s emitted wavelength is the same as the rest value, what is happening?

Answer:

speed of star is  1.37 × 10^{5} m/s

it is approaching to earth because wavelength of star is decreasing than rest

if emit same wavelength it does not move anywhere

it will remain steady condition with respect earth

Explanation:

given data

wavelength = 656.5 nm

rest wavelength = 656.8 nm

to find out

the speed of the star , is it approaching

solution

we know here equation that is

wavelength shift / wavelength at rest  = velocity of source / speed of light

so put all value and find

velocity of source = 3 × 10^{-9} × 3 × 10^{8} / 656.8 × 10^{-9}

velocity of source star = 1.37 × 10^{5} m/s

and

it is approaching to earth because wavelength of star is decreasing than rest

and

if emit same wavelength it does not move anywhere

it will remain steady condition with respect earth

A rotating merry go-round makes one complete revolution in 4.2 s. (a) what is the linear speed of a child seated 1.3 m from the
gregori [183]
The radius, r, of the child from the center of the wheel is
r = 1.3 m

The wheel makes one revolution in 4.2 s. Its angular velocity is
ω = (2π rad)/(4.2 s) = 1.496 rad/s

The linear speed of the child is the tangential velocity, given by
v = rω
   = (1.3 m)*(1.496 rad/s)
   = 1.945 m/s

Answer: 1.95 m/s  (nearest hundredth)

How can you determine the rate of a chemical reaction?
DanielleElmas [232]
Take a look at a simple reaction like the one below:

In this reaction some reactant A is turned into some product B. The rate of reaction can be represented by a decrease in concentration of A over time or as the increase of B over time. This is written:

When an electric stove element is hot enough, it gives off a dull red glow. When it cools to the point that it no longer glows,
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

It will have a longer wavelength

Explanation:

When an electric stove is hot and gives dull red glow. a part of the energy dissipated is emitted as visible light and part as infrared radiation in the form of heat. When the stove cools down, and no longer glows all the energy is now in the form of infrared radiation.In the electromagnetic spectrum infrared rays have a higher wavelength than visible light. Hence for the reason the radiation will have a higher wavelength since visible light is cut off.
