The H line in Calcium is normally at 396.9 nm. However, in a star's spectrum, it is measured at 398.1nm. How fast is the star mo

ving and is it moving towards the Earth or away from the Earth?
1- 904.3 km/s away from the Earth
2- 904.3 km/s towards the Earth
3- 907.0 km/s towards the Earth
4- 907.0 km/s away from the Earth

As we know by Doppler's effect of light we have

\frac{\Delta \lambda}{\lambda} = \frac{v}{c}

here we will have

[tex}\frac{398.1 nm - 396.9 nm}{398.1 nm} = \frac{v}{c}[/tex]

here by solving above we have

3.01 \times 10^{-3} = \frac{v}{c}

here we have

v = 904.3 km/s

since wavelength is increased so we can say that it is moving away

so correct answer is

1- 904.3 km/s away from the Earth

List and describe three biological applications of electricity
mihalych1998 [28]

Before we dive into how electricity is used around the home it is worth putting household electricity use in perspective.

Household electricity use generally makes up about a third of total electricity consumption  in most developed nations.  Using data from the European Union we can give an example of how electricity demand is split among different sectors.

frosja888 [35]

Instantaneous velocity, on the other hand, describes the motion of a body at one particular moment in time. Acceleration is a vector which shows the direction and magnitude of changes in velocity. Its standard units are meters per second per second, or meters per second squared. (this is for number 3)

By what factor must the amplitude of a sound wave be decreased in order to decrease the intensity by a factor of 3?
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Amplitude is decreased by a factor of \sqrt3 if intensity is decreased by a factor of 3.

Explanation:

Intensity of a sound wave is directly proportional to the square of its amplitude.

Therefore, if intensity is I and amplitude is A, then

I=kA^2, where, k is constant of proportionality.

Now, if intensity of sound wave is decreased by a factor of 3. So,

New intensity is, I_{new}=\frac{I}{3}

I_{new}=kA_{new}^2\\\frac{I}{3}=kA_{new}^2

Plug in kA^2 for I. This gives,

\frac{kA^2}{3}=kA_{new}^2\\A_{new}^2=\frac{A^2}{3}\\A_{new}=\sqrt{\frac{A^2}{3}}=\frac{A}{\sqrt{3}}

Therefore, amplitude is decreased by a factor of \sqrt3.
