If the temperature of the solar surface is 5800 K and Wien's law for the peak wavelength of the spectrum of the Sun, assumed to

be a blackbody, is given by max T = 2.9  106, with T in Kelvins and  in nanometers (nm), what is the expected dominant wavelength of the Sun (in nanometers)

Answer:

The dominant wavelength of the sun is 499.65nm

Explanation:

Wien's law is defined as:

\lambda_{max} T = c (1)

Where \lambda_{max} is the maximum wavelength, c is the Wien's constant and T is the temperature.

Therefore, \lambda_{max} can be isolated from equation 1.  

\lambda_{max} = \frac{c}{T} (2)

\lambda_{max} = \frac{2.898x10^{-3}m\cdot K}{T}

Notice that it is necessary to express the Wien's constant in units of meters

c = 2.898x10^{-3}m\cdot K . \frac{1x10^{9}nm}{m} ⇒ 2.898x10^{6} nm \cdot K

Finally, equation 2 can be used:

\lambda_{max} = \frac{2.898x10^{6} nm \cdot K}{5800 K}

\lambda_{max} = 499.65nm

Hence, the dominant wavelength of the sun is 499.65nm

Answer:

Mesothermal regions have moderate climates. They are not cold enough to sustain a layer of winter snow but are also not remain warm enough to support flowering plants (and, thus, evapotranspiration) all year.

A suspended object A is attracted to a neutral wall. It's also attracted to a positively-charged object B. Which of the followin
olga2289 [7]

There are two particular cases, the first is when Object A is attracted to the neutral wall. This would indicate that the object is not neutral, as there is an attraction.

At the same time we know that Object A is attracted to an object B. And therefore, the load of A must be opposite to that of B. Remember that opposite charges attract each other. If the charge of object B is positive, then the charge of object A will be negative.

Option B is correct: It has a negative charge.

A 91-kg astronaut and a 1300-kg satellite are at rest relative to the space shuttle. The astronaut pushes on the satellite, givi
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

18.2145 meters

Explanation:

Using the conservation of momentum, we have that:

m1v1 + m2v2 = m1'v1' + m2'v2'

m1 = m1' is the mass of the astronaut, m2=m2' is the mass of the satellite, v1 and v2 are the inicial speed of the astronaut and the satellite (v1 = v2 = 0), and v1' and v2' are the final speed of the astronaut and the satellite. Then we have that:

0 + 0 = 91*v1' + 1300*0.17

v1' = -1300*0.17/91 = -2.4286\ m/s

The negative sign of this speed just indicates the direction the astronaut goes, which is the opposite direction of the satellite.

If the astronaut takes 7.5 seconds to come into contact with the shuttle, their initial distance is:

distance = 2.4286 * 7.5 = 18.2145\ meters

A farmer using sustainable agriculrural practices will a. use increased crop diversity and fewer off the farm resources in order
kati45 [8]

a. use increased crop diversity and fewer off the farm resources in order to reduce pressure on resources

Explanation:

A farmer using sustainable agricultural practices will use increased crop diversity and fewer off the farm resources in order to reduce dependency on other resources.

The major goal of sustainable agriculture is to cultivate plants and groom livestock in the best way that won't alter the environment.

  • This usually entail the cultivation of different crops.
  • Diversity of crops provides the means to sustain and retain soil fertility naturally without having to add fertilizers.
  • In animal husbandry, some of wastes are used on farm and the excesses from the farm are used to feed livestock.
  • Sustainable agriculture is a practice of self-reliant agriculture without infringing on the environment.
