Answer:
c. detecting the gravitational effect of an orbiting planet (The Wobble"") by looking for the Doppler shifts in the star's spectrum
Explanation:
In a solar system the mass of the star and planets affect each other's orbital movements. The center of gravity of a star and a planet is inside the star. This causes the star to be closer and farther from the Earth at different times. Due to this wobble the star appears to be red shifted when it is farther and blue shifted when it is closer.
When the mass of the planet is high, like a hot Jupiter it causes more wobble i.e., change in radial velocity. This makes it easier to detect the planet. The earliest hot Jupiter found by this method is the planet 51 Pegasi b.
The correct answer to the question is: A) miles/hour and B) metre/ second.
EXPLANATION:
Before answering this question, first we have to understand speed.
The speed of a body is defined as the rate of distance travelled or the distance travelled by a body per unit time.
Hence, it is a derived quantity which is obtained from distance and time.
The unit of distance can be metre, miles, and the unit of time can be second, minutes or hour.
As speed is the distance covered per unit time, the perfect units will be miles/hour and metre/second.
Hence, the correct options are first and second.
