Answer:

4.408 \mathsf{M_{sun}}

Explanation:

According to Kelper's Third Law, the equation of the combined mass (m₁+m₂) can be expressed as:

(m_1 + m_2) = \dfrac{\text{(distance between stars)}^3}{\text{(orbital period)}^2}

\text{combined mass}(m_1+m_2)} =\dfrac{(6.0)^3}{(7)^2} \ M_{sun}

\text{combined mass}(m_1+m_2)} =\dfrac{216}{49} \ M_{sun}

combined mass (m₁+m₂)  = 4.408 \mathsf{M_{sun}}

Briefly explain the two postulates of relativity, how they differed from classical physics, and why Einstein was led to propose
Ray Of Light [21]

Explanation:

The two postulates of special theory of relativity

Postulate 1: The law of physics are invariant under any of inertial frame of reference.

Postulate 2: The velocity of light is remains same in each ans every frame of reference and independent of relativity.

They are differ from classical mechanics that in classical mechanics there is no change in mass and length in relative velocity but in relativistic mechanics it changes.

These two postulates implements in phenomenon like time dilation , length contraction etc.

A Michelson interferometer uses red light with a wavelength of 656.45 nm from a hydrogen discharge lamp. Part A How many bright-
kati45 [8]

Answer:

51793 bright-dark-bright fringe shifts are observed when the mirror M2 moves through 1.7cm

Explanation:

The number of maxima appearing when the mirror M moves through distance \Delta L is given as follows,

\Delta m = \frac{\Delta L}{\frac{\lambda}{2}}

Here,

\Delta L= is the distance moved by the mirror M

\lambda is the wavelenght of the light used.

\Delta L= 0.017m

\lambda = 656.45*10^{-9}m

\Delta m = \frac{0.017}{\frac{656.45*10^{-9}}{2}}

\Delta m = 51793.72

Therefore, 51793 bright-dark-bright fringe shifts are observed when the mirror M2 moves through 1.7

Which of the following statements is true?
kupik [55]

Answer:

2. The hydrogen atom has quantized energy levels.

Explanation:

The Bohr model of the atom states that the structure of the atom is quantized, that is, that electrons can only orbit the nucleus in specific orbits with a fixed radius. Therefore, the electron cannot be in energy levels that do not correspond to these quantized levels.
