how does a spectral signature help scientists determine the composition of planets and other stars???

Chemistry
1 answer:
sveticcg [70]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

How do scientists determine the chemical compositions of the planets and stars? Each element absorbs light at specific wavelengths unique to that atom. When astronomers look at an object's spectrum, they can determine its composition based on these wavelengths. ... That fingerprint often appears as the absorption of light.

Explanation:

E = hf

c = speed of electromagnetic wave, c ≈ 3 * 10⁸ m/s, 
Planck's constant h = 6.63 *10⁻³⁴ Js

h = Planck's constnat,  Frquency, f = c/λ = (3*10⁸)/(488*10⁻⁹)

E = hf

E = hc/λ

E = (6.63 * 10⁻³⁴ * 3 * 10⁸) /(488 * 10⁻⁹)

Energy, E ≈ 4.0758 * 10⁻¹⁹  Joules.

Question 2<br> Describe the energy in coal and the way in which it’s converted to electrical energy.
Scilla [17]

Answer:

Its rich carbon content gives coal most of its energy content. When coal is burned in the presence of air or oxygen, heat energy is released. This energy can then be converted to other forms of useful energy. Coal-fired plants produce electricity by burning coal in a boiler to produce steam. The steam produced, under tremendous pressure, flows into a turbine, which spins a generator to create electricity.

Hope this helps! :)
