Answer:

When observed from Earth, the wavelengths of light emitted by a star are shifted toward the red end of the electromagnetic spectrum because: the star is moving away from planet Earth.

A star is a giant astronomical or celestial object that contains a luminous sphere of plasma and bounded together by its own gravitational force.

A redshift can be defined as a displacement (shift) of the spectral lines of celestial or astronomical objects toward longer wavelengths (the red end of an electromagnetic spectrum), as a result of the Doppler effect.

Hence, a redshift is considered to be a subtle change in the color of visible electromagnetic radiation from stars (starlight), as observed from planet Earth.

In conclusion, a redshift occur when observing a star from planet Earth because the star is moving away from planet Earth.

Diamond has an index of refraction of 2.419. What is the critical angle for internal reflection inside a diamond that is in air?
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

C) 24.4°

Explanation:

let nd = 2.419 be the index of refraction of diamond and na  = 1.0 be the index of refraction of air  and ∅c be the critical angle.

according to Snell's Law:

sin(∅c) = na/nd

sin(∅c) = (1.0)/(2.419)

      ∅c = 24.4°

A well-thrown ball is caught in a well-padded mitt. If the deceleration of the ball is 2.10×10^{4} 4 m/s^{2} 2 , and 1.85 ms (1
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

u = - 38.85 m/s^-1

Explanation:

given data:

acceleration = 2.10*10^4 m/s^2

time = 1.85*10^{-3} s

final velocity = 0 m/s

from equation of motion we have following relation

v = u +at

0 =  u + 2.10*10^4 *1.85*10^{-3}

0 = u + (21 *1.85)

0 = u + 38.85

u = - 38.85 m/s^-1

negative sign indicate that the ball bounce in opposite directon
