After years of observation, Hubble made an extraordinary discovery. In 1923 he spotted a Cepheid variable star in what was known as the Andromeda Nebula. Using Leavitt's techniques, he was able to show that Andromeda was nearly 1 million light years away and clearly a galaxy in its own right, not a gas cloud.

1. Most waves are caused by vibrations. What motion in a transmitting antenna causes the vibrations that produce radio waves?
morpeh [17]
The answer 1 is
The best-known use of radio waves is for communication; television, cellphones and radios all receive radio waves and convert them to mechanical vibrations in the speaker to create sound waves that can be heard.Electromagnetic radiation is transmitted inwaves or particles at different wavelengths and frequencies.

the answer 2 is

Radio Waves: Instant Communication
Microwaves: Data and Heat

i think the answer number 3 is
It is all about wavelength versus tunnel diameter. The wavelength of GPS is about 20cm it would happily propagate in any normal tunnel if it could get in but the earth and other structures absorb it. AM radio (600kHz - 1500kHz) cannot propagate in any normal tunnel because the wavelength is too long (500m-200m) relative to the diameter, and thus gets reflected at the entrance. FM (100MHz ~ 3m) would propagate and it does for a while but then it suffers reflections

What do scientist use the H-R Diagram for and how do they use it?
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

The H-R diagram can be used by scientists to roughly measure how far away a star cluster or galaxy is from Earth. This can be done by comparing the apparent magnitudes of the stars in the cluster to the absolute magnitudes of stars with known distances (or of model stars).

Compare the light gathering power of a 1 meter diameter telescope to that of the human eye ,which has a diameter of roughly 2.5
lesantik [10]

Answer:

The telescope can gather light 1600 times more than the human eyes can!

Explanation:

The light gathering ability of an optical element is directly proportional to its area of opening.

So, in comparing the light gathering abilities for two objects, it is just the ratio of their area of opening.

Let the diameter of the telescope be D = 1 m

And the diameter of the human eyes be d = 2.5 cm = 0.025 m

Light gathering ability of the telescope compared to the eyes = D² ÷ d²

= (D²/d²) = (1²/0.025²) = 1600 times.

The telescope can gather light 1600 times more than the human eyes can!

Hope this Helps!!!

A child looks at his reflection in a spherical Christmas tree ornament 8.0 cm in diameter in season that the image of his face i
malfutka [58]

From the information given,

diameter of ornament = 8

radius = diameter/2 = 8/2

radius of curvature, r = 4

Recall,

focal length, f = radius of curvature/2 = 4/2

f = 2

Recall,

magnification = image d
