Question 13: Consider the strength of the Hβ absorption line in the spectra of stars of various surface temperatures. This is th

e amount of light that is missing from the spectra because Hydrogen electrons have absorbed the photons and jumped from level 2 to level 4. How do you think the strength of Hβ absorption varies with stellar surface temperature?

Answer:

The absorption and strength of the H-beta lines change with the temperature of the stellar surface, and because of this, one can find the temperature of the star from their absorption lines and strength. To better comprehend, let us look into the concept of the atom's atomic structure.  

Atoms possess distinct energy levels and these levels of energy are constant, that is, the temperature has no influence on it. However, temperature possesses an influence on the electron numbers found within these levels of energy. Therefore, to generate an absorption line of hydrogen in the electromagnetic spectrum's visible band, the electrons are required to be present in the second energy level, that is when it captivates a photon.  

Therefore, after captivating the photons the electrons jump from level 2 to level 4, which shows that there is an increase in the stellar surface temperature and at the same time one can witness a decline in the strength of the H-beta lines. In case, if the temperature of the surface increases too much, then one will witness no attachment of electron with the hydrogen atom and thus no H lines, and if the temperature of the surface becomes too low, then the electrons will stay in the ground state and no formation of H lines will take place in that condition too.  

Hence, to generate a very robust H line, after captivating photons the majority of the electrons are required to stay in the second energy level.

Using your knowledge geologic processes, explain why there are fertile, nutrient-rich solls on and surrounding volcanoes
poizon [28]

Answer:

Hey, I will try my best

so as you know volcanos can be very destructive and cause mass death and deforestation. but nature needs volcanos because they are part of a cycle. The lava that comes from volcanos can feed various plants which will start to grow after an eruption. these plants will process the lava rock into food which feeds other plants. and soon enough you have a whole forest after all the lava rock has been processed.

Answer:

Tea is a solution of compounds in water, so it is not chemically pure.

Explanation:

It is usually separated from tea leaves by filtration. B Because the composition of the solution is uniform throughout, it is a homogeneous mixture.
