Why do we use the hydrogen spectrum to identify if a star is red or blue shifted? *

Physics

Answer:

But if you place a clear container filled with hydrogen gas between the flashlight and the prism, gaps appear in the smooth rainbow of colors, places where the light literally goes missing. The dark absorption lines of a star at rest (left) get shifted towards red if the star is moving away from Earth (right)

A bird lands on a bare copper wire carrying a current of 51
nirvana33 [79]
The resistance of the piece of wire is
R= \frac{\rho L}{A}
where
\rho = 1.68 \cdot 10^{-8}\Omega m is the resistivity of the copper
L=5.1 cm=0.051 m is the length of the piece of wire
A=0.13 cm^2 = 0.13 \cdot 10^{-4} m^2 is the cross sectional area of the wire
By substituting these values, we find the value of R:
R= \frac{\rho L}{A}=6.6 \cdot 10^{-5} \Omega

Then, by using Ohm's law, we find the potential difference between the two points of the wire:
V=IR=(51 A)(6.6 \cdot 10^{-5} \Omega )=3.4 \cdot 10^{-3} V

Find the radius Rrigel of the star Rigel, the bright blue star in the constellation Orion that radiates energy at a rate of 2.7×
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

r = 1.61 x 10^{11} m

Explanation:

energy radiated (H) = 2.7 x 10^31 W

surface temperature (T)  = 11,000 k

assuming ε = 1 and taking σ = 5.67 x 10^{-8} W/m^{2}.K^{4}

we can find the radius of the star from the equation below

H = A x  ε x σ x T^{4}              

where area (A) = 4 x π x r^{2} (assuming it is a sphere)

therefore  the equation becomes

H = 4 x π x r^{2} x  ε x σ x T^{4}  

2.7 x 10^31  = 4 x π x r^{2} x  1 x 5.67 x 10^{-8}  x (11,000)^{4}

r = \sqrt{\frac{2.7 x 10^31}{4 x π x 1 x 5.67 x 10^{-8}  x (11,000)^{4}} }

r = 1.61 x 10^{11} m
