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

What is the speed of sound in air at 50°F (in ft/s)?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Speed of air = 1106.38 ft/s

Explanation:

Speed of sound in air with temperature

v_{air}=331.3\sqrt{1+\frac{T}{273.15}} \\

Here speed is in m/s and T is in celcius scale.

T = 50°F

T=(50-32)\times \frac{5}{9}=10^0C \\

Substituting

v_{air}=331.3\sqrt{1+\frac{10}{273.15}}=337.31m/s \\

Now we need to convert m/s in to ft/s.

1 m = 3.28 ft

Substituting

v_{air}=337.31\times 3.28=1106.38ft/s \\

Speed of air = 1106.38 ft/s

Through which medium will sound have slowest speed? Group of answer choices
Vinvika [58]

Answer: Air

Explanation: Of the three mediums (gas, liquid, and solid) sound waves travel the slowest through gases, faster through liquids, and fastest through solids.  Air and hydrogen have nearly the same elastic properties, but the density of hydrogen is less than that of air. Sound thus travels faster (about 4 times as fast) in hydrogen than in air.

<span>The expected boiling point of a substance increases with an increasing molar mass of the substance. So I would expect the lighter compounds to boil at lower temperature. Also more polar molecules tend to boil at higher temperature. Pentane is the lightest of all three compounds, so it should boil the soonest. Heptane is a lot heavier than Pentane, but slightly lighter than Heptanol. So it should boil next. Heptanol is the heaviest of all of the molecules and is also quite polar compared to heptane. So it should have the highest of all the boiling points.</span>
