Explanation:

Optics is a branch of physics that is the study of light and vision. ... The branch of physics dealing with the nature and properties of electromagnetic energy in the light spectrum and the phenomena of vision. In the broadest sense, optics deals with infrared light, visible light, and ultraviolet light.

What do the movements of stars and galaxies tell astronomers about how the universe formed?

natulia [17]

This could be Hubble's law, or something related to it. I think there's a possibly Doppler RED SHIFT in the optical spectra of stars etc as observed on the earth. It seems that they are accelerating away from the earth, and that the further away they are the faster they are moving.
It seems that this has been connected to the idea of "The Big Bang" theory of the origin of the universe which seems to have superceded Professor Sir Fred Hoye's Steady State theory of the universe.
There's some Special Relativity in this lot, too.

See the diagram above. Which of the following is the best prediction of what would happen if you increased the distance in secti

Inessa [10]

By the definition of wavelength, the answer is the letter D, the wavelength would decrease.

We can see in the diagram a wave motion.

A wave has some characteristics:

Has an amplitude, the distance from 0 to the crest (highest point in the y-direction, point (3) in the figure) it would see in the figure as (2)
Has wavelength, the distance between the crests.
Has a trough, the lowest point in the y-direction.

Now, if we increase the distance of the crests, by the definition shown above, we will increase the wavelength.

Therefore, the answer is letter D, the wavelength would increase.

At a distance D from a very long (essentially infinite) uniform line of charge, the electric field strength is 1000 N/C. At what

Alla [95]

Answer:

The correct option is (a).

Explanation:

We know that, the E is inversely proportional to the distance as follows :

$E=\dfrac{k}{d^2}$

We can write it as follows :

$\dfrac{E_1}{E_2}=(\dfrac{d_2}{d_1})^2$

Put all the values,

$\dfrac{1000}{2000}=(\dfrac{d_2}{d})^2\\\\\sqrt{\dfrac{1000}{2000}}=(\dfrac{d_2}{D})\\\\0.7071=\dfrac{d_2}{d}\\\\d_1=0.7071D\\\\d_1=\dfrac{D}{\sqrt2}$

So, the correct option is (a).
