Why do astronomers use spectroscopes to analyze light from distant objects?

Physics

RoseWind [281]3 years ago
7 0
Spectroscopy — the use of light from a distant object to work out the object is made of — could be the single-most powerful tool astronomers use, says Professor Fred Watson from the Australian Astronomical Observatory. ... "It lets you see the chemicals being absorbed or emitted by the light source.

Xelga [282]

Answer:

D. move up to another shell that would form

Explanation:

An atom has protons, neutrons and electrons. Protons and neutrons are present in the nucleus and electrons orbit the nucleus in fixed shells. An electron can jump to higher shell when it gains energy and lower one when it loses energy. Thus, when single electron in hydrogen atom is given a small amount of energy, it would jump to another higher shell.

Particle q₁ has a charge of 2.7 μC and a velocity of 773 m/s. If it experiences a magnetic force of 5.75 × 10⁻³ N, what is the s
Ne4ueva [31]
The intensity of the magnetic force F experienced by a charge q moving with speed v in a magnetic field of intensity B is equal to
F=qvB \sin \theta
where \theta is the angle between the directions of v and B.

1) Re-arranging the previous formula, we can calculate the value of the magnetic field intensity. The charge is q=2.7 \mu C=2.7 \cdot 10^{-6}C. In this case, v and B are perpendicular, so \theta=90^{\circ}, therefore we have:
B= \frac{F}{qv \sin \theta} = \frac{5.75 \cdot 10^{-3}N}{(2.7 \cdot 10^{-6}C)(773m/s)\sin 90^{\circ}}=2.8 T

2) In this second case, the angle between v and B is \theta=55^{\circ}. The charge is now q=42.0 \mu C=42.0 \cdot 10^{-6}C, and the magnetic field is the one we found in the previous part, B=2.8 T, so we can find the intensity of the force experienced by this second charge:
F=qvB \sin \theta=(42\cdot 10^{-6}C)(1.21 \cdot 10^3 m/s)(2.8 T)(\sin 55^{\circ})=0.12 N
