Explain how astronomers might use spectroscopy to determine the composition and temperature of a star.

Damm [24]3 years ago

Everything starts from spectroscopy. Astronomers only have concentrated information at wavelengths that are emitted from the stars. What they do with this information is to obtain the frequency range of the stars and through spectroscopes they are responsible for dividing the radiation beams and determining the coincidence with the emission of those same waves, of chemical elements. From these observation techniques it is possible to obtain the composition and according to the color, obtaining characteristics such as temperature. The spectrum of stars consists of dark and bright lines called Fraunhofer lines. This spectrum is compared to the spectrum of different elements to find the composition of the stars. This is possible because the elements emit or absorb only specific wavelengths.

11. A plow pushes 100 kg of snow with 300 N of force. How much is the pile of snow<br> accelerated?
Fed [463]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is an application of Newton's second Law.

Formula

F = m * a

F = 300 N

m = 100 kg

a = ?

F = m * a

300N = 100 kg * a            Divide by 100

300N/100kg = a

a = 3 m/sec^2

Describe how to measure the internal diameter of a beaker using a Vernier caliper?​
n200080 [17]

Answer:

Hope it helps..

Explanation:

Let n be the number of the vernier scale division which coincides with the main scale division. Rotate the vernier caliper 90° and repeat the steps 4 and 5 for measuring the internal diameter in perpendicular direction. To measure the depth, find the total reading and zero correction.
