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)

Answer:

$v = 15.45 m/s$

Explanation:

As per mechanical energy conservation we can say that here since friction is present in the barrel so we will have

Work done by friction force = Loss in mechanical energy

so we will have

$W_f = (U_i + K_i) - (U_f + K_f)$

here we know that

$W_f = F_f . d$

$W_f = 40 \times 4$

$W_f = 160 J$

Initial compression in the spring is given as

$F = kx$

$4400 = 1100 x$

$x = 4 m$

now from above equation

$W_f = (\frac{1}{2}kx^2 + 0) - (mgh + \frac{1}{2}mv^2)$

$160 = (\frac{1}{2}1100(4^2) + 0) - (60 \times 9.8\times 2.50 + \frac{1}{2}(60)v^2)$

$160 = 8800 - 1470 - 30 v^2$

$v = 15.45 m/s$

When an electric stove element is hot enough, it gives off a dull red glow. When it cools to the point that it no longer glows,

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

It will have a longer wavelength

Explanation:

When an electric stove is hot and gives dull red glow. a part of the energy dissipated is emitted as visible light and part as infrared radiation in the form of heat. When the stove cools down, and no longer glows all the energy is now in the form of infrared radiation.In the electromagnetic spectrum infrared rays have a higher wavelength than visible light. Hence for the reason the radiation will have a higher wavelength since visible light is cut off.
