Answer:

The light from an object which is coming towards us will be blue shifted.

Explanation:

According to the Doppler effect the movement of the source towards the observer will lead to increase in thew apparent frequency by the Doppler formula,

$f'=\frac{c+v_{o} }{c-v_{s} }f$

Now when the there is increase in frequency then the wavelength is decrease because it is inversely related to frequency.

The wavelength of blue shift is lies in the range of 450-490 nm and the wavelength of red shift lies in the region of 635-700 nm.

Therefore, decrease in the wavelength will lead to blue shift.

The cylinder valve is open and the gas is collected and atmospheric pressure

jok3333 [9.3K]

Less gas will be collected because some of the gases will escape from the open cylinder valve.

Cylinders used to store carbon dioxide will have thicker walls than those of butane because of higher pressures.

<h3>What are compressed gases?</h3>

Compressed gases are gases which are compressed under high pressure in gas cylinders.

Cylinder valves are used to reduce the pressure of the compressed gases and in the process, some of the gas molecules escape.

Since the cylinder valve is open and the gas is collected at atmospheric pressure, less gas will be collected because some of the gases will escape.

Since, the carbon dioxide not liquefy under pressure compared to butane, the cylinders used to store carbon dioxide will have thicker walls than those of butane.

You look down an old well, cannot see the bottom, and mutter to yourself "Oh well!". In order to estimate the depth of the well,

telo118 [61]

Answer:

The best estimate of the depth of the well is 2.3 sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

Record time,

$t_{1}=2.19\ sec$

$t_{2}=2.30\ sec$

$t_{3}=2.26\ sec$

$t_{4}=2.29\ sec$

$t_{5}=2.27\ sec$

We need to find the best estimate of the depth of the well

According to record time,

We can write of the record time

$t_{1}=2.19\approx 2.2\ sec$

$t_{2}=2.30\approx 2.3\ sec$

$t_{3}=2.26\approx 2.3\ sec$

$t_{4}=2.29\approx 2.3\ sec$

$t_{5}=2.27\approx 2.3\ sec$

Here, all time is nearest 2.3 sec.

So, we can say that the best estimate of the depth of the well is 2.3 sec.

Hence, The best estimate of the depth of the well is 2.3 sec.

Is a quantum of light or a single packet/particle of light at a given wavelength.

Yanka [14]

Photon is a quantum of light or a single packet/particle of light at a given wavelength.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation: </u>

It is known that light has dual nature of wave as well as particles. Light waves can behave in wave nature as well as in particle nature depending upon the situation. So the light waves are assumed in different views to easily understand the nature of light waves.

There are several models proposed to simplify the nature of light. Among the several assumptions, one of the most prominent observations are that light waves or quantum of light are termed as photons which are made up of single packet/particles of light in a given wavelength.
