I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the last option. The conclusion about the star would be that it is moving away from  Earth. L<span>engthening of the waves means that wavelength getting larger </span>this occurs when a body giving off light is moving away. Hope this answers the question.

Answer:

It is moving away from Earth.

Explanation:

The electromagnetic waves given off by a star is bring observed by an astronomer. The waves seem to be lengthening. This means the apparent wavelength of the waves is increasing. It can be explained from Doppler's effect. Doppler's effect states that there is change in apparent wavelength of light when there is relative motion between the source and the observer.

The apparent wavelength decreases when the source and observer approach each other while it increases when they are moving apart.

In the given situation, since the apparent wavelength is increasing, it means the star is moving away from the Earth and we are observing a red shift.

How fast is a wave traveling if it has a wavelength of 7 meters and a frequency of 11 Hz?
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

\huge{ \boxed{ \bold{ \sf{77 \: m/s}}}}

☯ Question :

  • How fast is a wave travelling if it has a wavelength of 7 meters and a frequency of 11 Hz?

☯ \underbrace{ \sf{Required \: Answer  :  }}

☥ Given :

  • Wavelength ( λ ) = 7 meters
  • Frequency ( f ) = 11 Hz

☥ To find :

  • Speed of sound ( v ) = ?

☄ We know ,

\boxed{ \sf{v = f \times λ}}

where ,

  • v = speed of sound
  • f = frequency
  • λ = wavelength

Now, substitute the values and solve for v.

➺ \sf{v = 11 \times 7}

➺ \boxed{ \sf{v = 77 \: m/s}}

-------------------------------------------------------------------

✑ Additional Info :

  • Frequency : The number of complete vibrations made by a particle of a body in one second is called it's frequency. It is denoted by the letter f . The SI unit of frequency is hertz ( Hz ).

  • Wavelength : The distance between two consecutive compressions or rarefactions of a sound wave is called wavelength of that wave. It is denoted by λ ( lambda ) and it's SI unit is m.

  • Speed of a sound wave : The distance covered by a sound wave in one second is called speed of sound wave. It depends on the product of wavelength and frequency of the wave.

Hope I helped!

Have a wonderful time! ツ

Calculate the charge that flows through the cell in 1 minute. Each filament lamp has a power of 3 W and a resistance of 12 Ω
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

24 Coulumbs

Explanation:

Given data

time= 1 minute= 6 seconds

P=2 W

R= 12 ohm

We know that

P= I^2R

P/R= I^2

2/12= I^2

I^2= 0.166

I= √0.166

I= 0.4 amps

We know also that

Q= It

substitute

Q= 0.4*60

Q= 24 Columbs

Hence the charge is 24 Coulumbs

Why is Pluto now called a dwarf planet
zvonat [6]
Before Pluto was discovered, it was predicted. Astronomers had observed that massive objects can affect the orbits of its neighbors, and, after seeing deviations in the orbits of Uranus and Neptune, assumed something substantial existed beyond their orbits.
When Pluto was spotted, it was thought to be the predicted object and was identified as a ninth planet.
A few decades later, astronomers started discovering more and more objects around other stars and didn’t know whether to call them planets or not. There appeared to be a need to define what a planet means, and that led to what some people consider Pluto’s demotion to a dwarf planet.
The International Astronomical Union decided that full-sized planets must orbit the sun, have a round shape, and have cleared their orbits of other objects. Pluto fulfills the first two criteria, but not the third.
It still goes around the sun, it’s round enough, it’s got moons, and behaves like a planet, but the idea is that Pluto did not form the same way as the rest of the planets. Pluto’s orbit is both eccentric and inclined more than the rest of the planets by about 17 degrees. That’s suggests something is different about this object.
This debate about whether to call it a planet or not is silly, because it doesn’t matter to Pluto what you call it. It is an interesting object, goes around the sun, and shows geology and an atmosphere.
There’s a tendency to define objects based on what they are now, but nothing is constant in the universe. There are some issues with the nomenclature, and a definition today may not apply to the same object tomorrow.

A lifeguard on a beach observes that waves have a speed of 7 m/s and a distance of 4.6m between wave crests. what is the period
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

0.657 seconds

Explanation:

speed of wave= wavelength / time period

so

time period= wavelength / speed

= 4.6/7

=0.657 sec
