Choice D). is on the right track, but it's stated incorrectly.

The wavelengths of light coming from a galaxy that's moving toward us <em>are </em>
<em>shorter</em> than they were when they left the galaxy.  When we see them, they're
shorter than they should be.

(This is called a "blue shift" in the spectrum of the galaxy, because blue is the
short-wavelength end of the spectrum of visible light.  If the wavelength of some
light somehow becomes shorter, then the color of the light changes toward the
direction of blue.)

If the source of light is moving toward us, then the wavelength we see is shorter
than it should be.  If the source is moving away from us, then the wavelength
we see is longer than it should be.  The whole trick to this is knowing <u>what</u> the
wavelength of the light we see <em>should be</em> !

Two parallel rods are each 0.69 m in length. They are attached at their centers to a spring that is initially neither stretched
diamong [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the separation required be d .

Force between rod = 10⁻⁷ x  2 I₁ I₂ L / d

where I₁ and I₂ are current in them , d is distance of separation and L is length of wire .

Force between rod = 10⁻⁷ x  2 x 1200 x  1200 x .69  / d

= .1987 /d

Restoring Force by spring = k x where k is force constant and x is compression .

= 130 x .03

= 3.9 N

For balancing

Restoring Force by spring = Force between rod

.1987 /d = 3.9

d = .1987 /3.9

= .0509 m

= 5.09 cm .

Which action can humans take to reduce wave erosion?
mezya [45]

The action that  humans can take to reduce wave erosion is to build breakwaters in the ocean.

<h3>What is erosion?</h3>

The term erosion has to do with the washing away of top soil either by water or by wind. The control of erosion is a very important soil conservation effort.

Hence, the action that  humans can take to reduce wave erosion is to build breakwaters in the ocean.

Light from a laser strikes a diffraction grating that has 5500 lines per centimeter. The central and first-order maxima are sepa
WINSTONCH [101]

.Answer:

491.4 nm

Explanation:

The distance between central and first maxima is,

y=0.455m

And the distance between screen abnd grating is,

L=1.62 m

Now the angle can be find as,

tan\theta=\frac{y}{L} \\\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{0.455}{1.62})  \\\theta=15.68^{\circ}

Now the grating distance is,

d=\frac{1}{5500} cm\\d=1.82\times 10^{-6}m

Now with m=1 condition will become,

\lambda=dsin\theta

So,

\lambda=1.82\times 10^{-6}m\times sin(15.68^{\circ})\\\lambda=1.82\times 10^{-6}m\times 0.270\\\lambda=491.4\times 10^{-9}m\\\lambda=491.4 nm

Therefore the wavelength of laser light is 491.4 nm.

The speed of sound in air at room temperature is about s=343 m/s. calculate this speed in miles per hour (mph). (1 mi = 1609 m.)
igor_vitrenko [27]
Given:
1 mi = 1609 m.

Also,
1 hour = 3600 s

Therefore
343 \,  \frac{m}{s} =(343 \,  \frac{m}{s} )*(3600 \,  \frac{s}{h}) *( \frac{1}{1609}\, \frac{mi}{m})=  767.433 \,  \frac{mi}{h}

Answer: 767.4 mph (nearest tenth)
