Why do stars twinkle​

Physics
1 answer:
vlada-n [284]3 years ago
4 0

As light from a star races through our atmosphere, it bounces and bumps through the different layers, bending the light before you see it. Since the hot and cold layers of air keep moving, the bending of the light changes too, which causes the star's appearance to wobble or twinkle.

White raven [17]

Answer:

0.017 m

Explanation:

Wavelength: This can be defined as the distance covered in one complete oscillation by a wave. The S.I unit of wave length is meter (m).

The expression for wave length is given as

v = λf ............................... Equation 1

Where v = speed of sound in air, λ = wave length of sound, f = frequency of sound.

make λ the subject of the equation,

λ = v/f ............................... Equation 2

Given: v = 340 m/s, f = 20000 Hz

Substitute into equation 2

λ = 340/20000

λ = 0.017 m.

Hence the wave length of sound in air = 0.017 m
