You are using a small telescope to view two closely spaced light bulbs located a mile away. Each light bulb is emitting blue lig

ht. At this distance, the light bulbs are still too close together for you to distinguish them as separate bulbs. If they were emitting red light instead, would you have a better or worse chance of distinguishing them as separate bulbs?

Answer:

Explanation:

The problem is based on resolving power of instruments . Resolving power of instruments is related to wavelength of light as follows

resolving power of telescope ∝  1 / λ

Higher the resolving power closer the object that can be looked separately.

Wave length of blue light is shorter than that of red light so resolving power in case of blue light will be higher. So we have better chance of distinguishing separate bulbs when color light is blue.

The core of the Sun is Group of answer choices
kap26 [50]

Answer:

2. much hotter and much denser than its surface

Explanation:

We know that the temperature around the center of the Sun is about 1.57×10⁷ K and its density is about 162 g/cm³.

Now, the temperature and the density decrease as one moves outward from the center of the Sun, the temperature at the surface of the sun is about 5×10³ K and the density as an average in the surface is about 1.4 g/cm³.

Therefore the answer is:

2. much hotter and much denser than its surface.  

I hope it helps you!

Have a nice day!

Joanna drove a car at 30km/hr. What is the speed in m/s?
Aloiza [94]
8.33 m/s
Explain:

If you understand what 1 km = 1000 m and 1 hr = 60*60 seconds signify, you already know what they mean. If you translate 1000 m/ 3600 s to km/hr, you'll get 5 m/ 18 s, which you can multiply by 30 to get (30 x 5)/18 = 8.33 m/s.
