Answer:

Hello containmentformyexis!

The scientific method is an empirical method of acquiring knowledge that has characterized the development of science since at least the 17th century (with notable practitioners in previous centuries). It involves careful observation, applying rigorous skepticism about what is observed, given that cognitive assumptions can distort how one interprets the observation. It involves formulating hypotheses, via induction, based on such observations; experimental and measurement-based testing of deductions drawn from the hypotheses; and refinement (or elimination) of the hypotheses based on the experimental findings. These are principles of the scientific method, as distinguished from a definitive series of steps applicable to all scientific enterprises.

The Sun’s surface temperature is about 5800 K and its spectrum peaks at 5000 Å. An O-type star’s surface temperature may be 40,0

nirvana33 [79]

(a) $7.25\cdot 10^{-8}m$

Wien's displacement law is summarized by the equation

$\lambda = \frac{b}{T}$

where

$\lambda$ is the peak wavelength

$b=2.898\cdot 10^{-3} m \cdot K$ is Wien's displacement constant

T is the absolute temperature at the surface of the star

For an O-type star, we have

T = 40,000 K

Therefore, its peak wavelength is

$\lambda = \frac{2.898\cdot 10^{-3}}{40000}=7.25\cdot 10^{-8}m$

(b) Ultraviolet

We can answer this part by looking at the wavelength range of the different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum:

gamma rays

X-rays 1 nm - 1 pm

ultraviolet 380 nm - 1 nm

visible light 750 nm - 380 nm

infrared $25 \mu m - 750 nm$

microwaves 1 mm - $25 \mu m$

radio waves > 1 mm

The peak wavelength of this star is

$\lambda=7.25\cdot 10^{-8}m=72.5 nm$

Therefore, it falls in the ultraviolet region.

(c) No

The Keck telescopes is actually a system of 2 telescopes in the Keck Observatory, located in Mauna kea, Hawai.

The two telescopes, thanks to several instruments, are able to detect much of the electromagnetic radiation in the visible ligth and infrared parts of the spectrum. However, they are not able to detect light in the ultraviolet region: therefore, they cannot observe the star mentioned in the previous part of the problem.

if an object 18mm high is placed 12mm from a diverging lens and the image is formed 4mm in front of the lens what is the height

brilliants [131]

To solve this problem we use an amplification formula for divergent lenses

$M = \frac{i}{o} = \frac{h'}{h}$

Where:

i: distance of the image to the lens

o: Distance from the object to the lens

h = height of the object

h '= height of the image

$M = \frac{4mm}{12mm} = \frac{h'}{18mm}$

$h'= 18mm\frac{4mm}{12mm}$

h '= 6 mm

The height is 6 mm

<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>

The statement is True.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

A subculture is a gathering of individuals inside a culture that separates itself from the parent culture to which it has a place, frequently keeping up a portion of its establishing standards.

Subcultures build up their own standards and qualities with respect to social, political and sexual issues
