Answer:

very small solid particles called interstellar dust.

Explanation:

In the space between the stars there is gas and dust, which represent at least 20% of the mass of our galaxy. In the Milky Way it is considered that there is a gas density of approximately 0.2 to 0.5 atoms / cm3 in the surroundings of the Sun; with respect to the dust an average of 1 g / cm3 is estimated.

Gas is about atoms and molecules, mainly hydrogen; In order of abundance, helium, carbon, oxygen, nitrogen and iron follow. On the other hand, the dust is tiny particles, generally smaller than 10 microns; the dust does not shine and therefore it is only distinguished when it is projected on bright regions (nebulae or clusters).

Interstellar matter is mainly concentrated towards the plane of the galaxy, in the strip corresponding to the Milky Way; there you can see bright nebulas of diffuse character called nebulas. These nebulae are classified according to three types: (a) bright or emission nebulae, (b) reflection nebulae and (c) planetary nebulae.

Hydrogen appears both ionized and neutral; The bright nebulae are composed of ionized hydrogen and other ionized elements. Non-ionized (neutral) hydrogen is found in the spiral arms of the Milky Way and can be detected through radio waves.

sergiy2304 [10]
We are given an electromagnetic wave with a frequency of 5.09 x 10^14 Hz and travelling through a transparent medium. If the medium was vacuum, the speed of the wave would be equal to the speed of light. Otherwise, the main factor that would determine the speed of the wave is its wavelength.

How to find instantaneous velocity physics?
evablogger [386]
You should have the velocity as a function of time either given explicitly or implicitly (a graph)

v = ds/dt  (differentiating the position vector)

integrating the acceleration.

you can use impulse or work and energy principle and also newton law of motion to find acceleration then velocity


NOT SURE IF THAT WHAT YOU WANT.

Verizon [17]

Answer:

Allison is probably looking at the asteroid.

Explanation:

  • Asteroids are the giant gas balls of inner solar system that are present in the space.
  • Asteroids orbits around the sun in very irregular ans strange path unlike the other planets.
  • This is also the reason why it's called as the minor planets.
  • It could have been comet but if it had been a comets he must have seen the tail but asteroids do not have any tail like structure.
