Answer: The brightness of our if betelgeuse were to explode as as a supernova would by getting the ratio betelgeuse to sirius. Which would then be:
Apparent brightness of Betelgeuse
÷ Apparent brightness of Sirius=
6.9×10^4 Lsun.
Answer:
Deserts
Explanation:
A desert is a region on the earth surface with little to no rainfall all year round. Deserts also experience a wide range of temperatures daily. During the day, temperature is very high, at night, temperature falls rapidly and it is cold.
These extremes of conditions coupled with some other factors makes deserts badlands for plant growth. The soil is very lose here and contains little to no nutrients. Organic matter is non-existent due to low biodiversity.
Plants that grow in such conditions are called xerophytes. An example is cactus. They have evolved to survive and adapt to such extremes of conditions.
Examples of such deserts around the world are Sahara desert, Namib desert, Atacama desert, Kalahari desert etc.
C - A typical star i just took the test and it was correct
Explanation:
Radiation means ‘energy that is transported from one spot to another without the need of direct contact between the two locations’, Light in each carries a different amount of energy, this is what we call electromagnetic radiation or electromagnetic waves. Gamma rays are the most energetic, and radio is the least.
<em>In order from longest to shortes wavelenghts we have:</em>
- Radio waves: they are made by various types of transmitters, given off by stars, sparks, and lightning, they have the lowest frequencies (longest wavelenghts) in the electromagnetic spectrum and are used mainly for communications.
- Microwaves: they are extremely high-frequency radio waves (Their wavelength is usually a couple of centimeters) made by various types of transmitters.
- Infra-red waves: they are just below visible red light in the electromagnetic spectrum, they're given off by hot objects.
- Visible lights is the tiny part of the electromagnetic spectrum our eyes can detect.
- Ultra-Violet: this light is given off by the Sun in large quantities. We call it "UV" for short and can also be used to kill microbes.
- X-rays: they are very high-frequency waves that carry a lot of energy. They will pass through most substances, and this makes them useful in medicine and industry to see inside things.
- Gamma rays: they are given off by stars and by some radioactive substances. They are extremely high-frequency waves (the shortest wavelength) and carry a large amount of energy. They pass through most materials.
In the image, I annexed you can see the electromagnetic spectrum with the type of radiations from the shortest to the longest wavelengths.
I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
