Suppose that a star has a spectrum that includes red, blue, and violet lines spaced in the pattern of the lines from hydrogen bu

t the violet lines are at 444nm and 420nm instead of the usual 434nm and 410nm. From this evidence, you can conclude that the star is:___________

Answer:

It can be concluded that the star is moving away from the observer.

Explanation:

Spectral lines will be shifted to the blue part of the spectrum if the source of the observed light is moving  toward the observer, or to the red part of the spectrum when is moving away from the observer (that is known as the Doppler effect).

The wavelength at rest for this case is 434 nm and 410 nm (\lambda_{0} = 434nm, \lambda_{0} = 410nm)

Redshift: \lambda_{measured}  >  \lambda_{0}

Blueshift: \lambda_{measured}  <  \lambda_{0}

Since, \lambda_{measured} (444nm) is greater than \lambda_{0} (434 nm) and \lambda_{measured} (420nm) is greater than \lambda_{0} (410 nm), it can be concluded that the star is moving away from the observer

Why does the Polaris appear to remain stationary in the night sky when other stars show an apparent pattern?
yanalaym [24]
Because one pole of the Earth's axis of rotation (the North one) points
almost exactly toward Polaris.

If Polaris had a pimple or a bump somewhere on its edge, you'd see
the bump rotate around the whole edge, like a clock, once a day.  But
the whole star appears to stay in one place, because our axis points to it.

In which electric circuit would the voltmeter read 10 volts ?
ki77a [65]

Given that,

Voltage = 10 volt

Suppose, The three resistance is connected in parallel and each resistance is 12 Ω. find the current in the electric circuit.

We need to calculate the equivalent resistance

Using formula of parallel

\dfrac{1}{R}=\dfrac{1}{R_{1}}+\dfrac{1}{R_{2}}+\dfrac{1}{R_{3}}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{1}{R}=\dfrac{1}{12}+\dfrac{1}{12}+\dfrac{1}{12}

\dfrac{1}{R}=\dfrac{1}{4}

R=4\ \Omega

We need to calculate the current in the circuit

Using ohm's law

V=IR

I=\dfrac{V}{R}

Where, V = voltage

R = resistance

Put the value into the formula

I=\dfrac{10}{4}

I=2.5\ A

Hence, The current in the circuit is 2.5 A
