The most common method astronomers use to determine the composition of stars, planets, and other objects is spectroscopy. This process utilizes instruments with a grating that spreads out the light from an object by wavelength. This spread-out light is called a spectrum. Every element has a unique fingerprint that allows researchers to determine what it is made of.
The fingerprint often appears as the absorption of light. Every atom has electrons, and these electrons like to stay in their lowest-energy levels. But when photons carrying energy hit an electron, they can push it to higher energy levels. This is absorption, and each element’s electrons absorb light at specific wavelengths related to the difference between energy levels in that atom. But the electrons want to return to their original levels, so they don’t hold onto the energy for long. When they emit the energy, they release photons with exactly the same wavelengths of light that were absorbed in the first place. An electron can release this light in any direction, so most of the light is emitted in directions away from our line of sight. Therefore, a dark line appears in the spectrum at that particular wavelength.
Because the wavelengths at which absorption lines occur are unique for each element, astronomers can measure the position of the lines to determine which elements are present in a target. The amount of light that is absorbed can also provide information about how much of each element is present.
Answer:
Potential Energy is the energy stored because of its position or shape
Explanation:
Answer: A loss of the ion concentration gradient that drives this process.
Explanation:Ouabain known as g-strophanthin, is a cardiac glycoside that can be medically used to treat hypotension.It acts by nhibiting the sodium - potassium (Na/K-ATPase) by causing a loss of the ion concentration gradient that drives it's process. Originally, it was a toxic plant that was used as an arrow poison in eastern Africa for hunting and warfare. Recently, Ouabain is synthesized by animals and secreted from the adrenal cortex to regulate body osmosis.
Answer: .150 moles of Ana
Explanation:
You just multiply 3.45 g of Na times the number of mole so in this case 1 mole divided by the grams it takes to make that mole. Which can be found on your periodic table it is the number right under the symbol of the element.
<h2>Greetings</h2>
Fr+ and P3-
This is because the Fr atom has a negative charge and P3 atom has a negative charge, these two atoms have an electrostatic force of attraction because they both need full outer shell of electrons to be a stable atom.
<h2>Hope this helps!</h2>
