Here is the difference  between apparent magnitude and absolute magnitude. When we say apparent magnitude, this is the measurement of the brightness of the star of how it appears on Earth; on the other hand, absolute magnitude is the measurement of the brightness of the star at a <span>standard distance of 32.6 light years, or 10 parsecs. Hope this answers your question.</span>

What is the wavelength of a photon whose energy is twice that of a photon with a 600 nm wavelength?
bearhunter [10]
Planck's equation states that
E = hf
where
E =  the energy,
h = Planck's constant
f =  the frequency

Because
c = fλ
where
c =  velocity of light,
λ = wavelength
therefore
E = h(c/λ)

Photon #1:
The wavelength is λ₁ = 60 nm.
The energy is
E₁ = (hc)/λ₁

Photon #2:
The energy is twice that of photon #1, therefore its energy is
E₂ = 2E₁ = (hc)/λ₂.

Therefore
\frac{E_{2}}{E_{1}}= \frac{(hc)/\lambda_{2}}{(hc)/60 \, nm} =2\\ \frac{60}{\lambda_{2}} =2 \\ \lambda_{2} =  \frac{60}{2} =30 \, nm

Answer:  30 nm

PLEASE ANSWER IN COMPLETE SENTENCE!!!
forsale [732]

Answer:

Mass is proportional to gravity and gravity is necessary to hold an atmosphere, therefore mass would seem to be very important for the ability for a body to have an atmosphere. However there are quite a few examples that show that it doesn't require that much mass to get an atmosphere.

One liter of water at 56◦C is used to make iced
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:22.6g

Explanation:

Mass of water(mw)=1liter=1000g

Final temperature=20°C

Temperature of ice=0°C

Temperature of water=56°C

Change in temperature of water=56-20=36

change in temperature of ice=20-0=20

Specific heat of water=1cal/g°C

Latent heat of ice=79.7cal/g

1000x1x36=mx79.7x20

36000=1594xm

Divide both sides by 1594

36000 ➗ 1594=1594xm ➗ 1594

22.6=m of ice

m of ice=22.6g
