doppler effect

The entire scientific Astronomical and Cosmological community assumes that it's the Doppler effect, since that's the only existing scientific explanation for the shifts in wavelengths away from what they're supposed to be.  The whole theoretical structure of the "Big Bang" and the expanding universe is built on that understanding.

If anybody ever comes along and discovers another way for electromagnetic waves to get longer or shorter on their way to us through space, then the whole big bang and expanding universe may be out the window.

How much force is needed to accelerate a 68 kilogram skier at a rate of 1.2m/sec
xxMikexx [17]

Let's use Newton's 2nd law of motion:

                                     Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

                                     Force = (68 kg) x (1.2 m/s²) =  81.6 newtons .

Why is thermal energy from the Sun transferred to Earth through electromagnetic waves instead of any other type of thermal energ
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are defined as the waves that are created due to the vibrations between a magnetic field and an electric field.

Earth atmosphere is made up of several gases and spaces between them. Thermal energy from the sun require to pass through space by electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space and that is why other type of waves are unable to transfer thermal energy.

Hence, the correct answer is "Electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space".

What do radio waves carry
iren [92.7K]

The answer is modulation. In modulation a radio wave (also called the "carrier signal") is changed by the signal we want to send to the receiver, for example a song, or, in a wireless network, some data from a computer.

Communication with submerged submarines via radio waves is difficult because seawater is conductive and absorbs electromagnetic
REY [17]

Answer:

\lambda=4000\ km

Explanation:

It is given that,

Frequency for submarine communications, f = 76 Hz

We need to find the wavelength of those extremely low-frequency waves. the relation between the wavelength and the frequency is given by :

c=f\times \lambda

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}

\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8\ m/s}{76\ Hz}

\lambda=3947368.42\ m

\lambda=3947\ km

or

\lambda=4000\ km

So, the wavelength of those extremely low-frequency waves is 4000 km. Hence, this is the required solution.
