The___ of a mirror's surface determines the type of image it forms.

distant galaxy emits light that has a wavelength of 434.1 nm. On earth, the wavelength of this light is measured to be 438.6 nm.

Answer:

The speed of the galaxy relative to the Earth is $3.09\times 10^6\ m/s$ .

Explanation:

We have,

(a) Wavelength emitted by light at distant galaxy is 434.1 nm. On earth, the wavelength of this light is measured to be 438.6 nm. It can be seen that the wavelength of light reduces as it reaches Earth. It is called Red shift. As per Doppler's effect, we can say that the galaxy is receding from the Earth.

(b) Let v is the speed of the galaxy relative to the Earth. It can be given by :

$v=c(\dfrac{\lambda'}{\lambda}-1)\\\\v=3\times 10^8\times (\dfrac{438.6 }{434.1 }-1)\\\\v=3\times 10^8\times (\dfrac{438.6}{434.1}-1)\\\\v=0.0103\cdot3\cdot10^{8}\\\\v=3.09\times 10^6\ m/s$

So, the speed of the galaxy relative to the Earth is $3.09\times 10^6\ m/s$ .

Is this true or false ethics deals with morals and values and can be measured and tested using the scientific method.

sammy [17]

This is false. Even though the first part is true, the second isn't because morals and values are simply widely accepted opinions that most humans have, and you can't test opinions with the scientific method, only facts!
