In which wavelength region(s) would we need to carry out observations in order to study the accretion disk around a white dwarf

in a binary system?

Inga [223]3 years ago

In “Ultraviolet light” and “X-ray” light wavelength regions are needed to carry out observations to study the “accretion disk” around “a white dwarf” in a “binary system”.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Occurrence of an accretion disk is due to presence of diffuse material around a white dwarf in orbital motion. White dwarf is constituted from electron-degenerate matter therefore also called as degenerate dwarf in binary system. Frictional forces and gravitational forces are responsible to compress and high “temperature” of the material, results with emission of “electromagnetic radiation”. “Accretion disks” of white dwarf radiate in the UV-rays and X-rays wavelength region of spectrum.

How do we prove the earth is round? What evidence do we have and reasoning?
Jlenok [28]

Answer: Go to the harbor. When a ship sails off toward the horizon, it doesn't just get smaller and smaller until it's not visible anymore. Instead, the hull seems to sink below the horizon first, then the mast. When ships return from sea, the sequence is reversed: First the mast, then the hull, seem to rise over the horizon.

Climbing to a high point will allow you to be able to see farther if you go higher. If the Earth was flat, you'd be able to see the same distance no matter your elevation

An alpha particle (α), which is the same as a helium-4 nucleus, is momentarily at rest in a region of space occupied by an elect
beks73 [17]

Answer:

Speed of the alpha particle is v=1.8180\times 10^3m/sec      

Explanation:

We have given charge on alpha particle q=3.2\times 10^{-19}C

Mass of the alpha particle m=6.68\times 10^{-27}kg

Potential difference V=-3.45\times 10^{-3}volt

We have to find the speed of the alpha particle

From energy conservation we know that

\frac{1}{2}mv^2=qV

\frac{1}{2}\times 6.68\times 10^{-27}\times v^2=3.2\times 10^{-19}\times 3.45\times 10^{-3}

v=1.8180\times 10^3m/sec

A velocity selector in a mass spectrometer uses an electric field of 4.4 x 105 V/m. What magnetic field strength (in Tesla) is n
Brut [27]

Answer:

  B = 9.16 10⁻²  T

Explanation:

The speed selector is a configuration where the electric and magnetic force has the opposite direction, which for a specific speed cancel

       q v B = q E

       v = E / B

       B = E / v

Let's calculate

      B = 4.4 10⁵ / 4.8 10⁶

      B = 9.16 10⁻²  T
