The Sun’s surface temperature is about 5800 K and its spectrum peaks at 5000 Å. An O-type star’s surface temperature may be 40,0

00 K. (a) According to Wien’s law, at what wavelength does its spectrum peak? (b) In what part of the spectrum might that peak be? (c) Can the peak be observed with the Keck telescopes on Maunakea in Hawaii? Explain.

Answer:

Part a)

\lambda_2 = 725 A^o

Part b)

This range of wavelength exist in the region of X rays

So correct answer will be X Rays

Part c)

No it is not visible because this energy can not travel to large distance

Explanation:

Part a)

As per Wein's law we know that

\lambda_1T_1 = \lambda_2 T_2

so we know that

\lambda_1 = 5000A^o

T_1 = 5800 K

T_2 = 40,000 K

now we have

\lambda_2 = \frac{5000 \times 5800}{40,000}

\lambda_2 = 725 A^o

Part b)

This range of wavelength exist in the region of X rays

So correct answer will be X Rays

Part c)

No it is not visible because this energy can not travel to large distance

Hold a pencil in front of your eye at a position where its blunt end just blocks out the Moon.
Valentin [98]

Answer:

D = 3.55 \times 10^6 m

Explanation:

Light rays coming from moon is blocked by the pencil

so as per figure we know that angle subtended by pencil and angle subtended by moon must be same

so we have

Angle = \frac{Arc}{Radius}

so we have

\frac{D}{3.8 \times 10^8 m} = \frac{0.7 cm}{75 cm}

so we have

D = 3.55 \times 10^6 m

A long copper wire of radius 0.321 mm has a linear charge density of 0.100 μC/m. Find the electric field at a point 5.00 cm from
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

E=35921.96N/C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Radius r=0.321mm

Charge Density \mu=0.100

Distance d= 5.00 cm

Generally the equation for electric field is mathematically given by

E=\frac{mu}{2\pi E_0r}

E=\frac{0.100*10^{-6}}{2*3.142*8.86*10^{-12}*5*10^{-2}}

E=35921.96N/C

The distance between a speaker and a listener is 8.0 m. Determine the frequency of the sound wave if exactly 20 waves are formed
dmitriy555 [2]

The frequency of the wave is 6800 Hz

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Wave number, n = 20

Speed of light, v = 340 m/s

Frequency, f = ?

we know:

wave number = \frac{frequency}{speed of light}

20 = \frac{f}{340 m/s} \\\\f = 20 X 340 s^-^1\\\\f = 6800 Hz

Therefore, the frequency of the wave is 6800 Hz
