Answer:

the recessional velocity of the galaxy is 2.736×10^-3 km/s

Explanation:

for the recessinal velocity of the galaxy as v and d being the distance of the galaxy from us and H as the hubble constant, then hubbles law says:

v = H×d

  = (22 km/s per million light years)×108 light years

  = (2.2×10^-5 km/s per light years)×108 light years

  = 2.376×10^-3 km/s

Therefore, the recessional velocity of the galaxy is 2.736×10^-3 km/s

Why is the transverse spatial extent of a photon proportional to its wavelength which is a longitudinal quantity?
otez555 [7]
In quantum mechanics, particularly the wave-particle theory, it states that light behaves like a wave or a particle. For the wave behavior, its movement is measured in wavelengths while the time for each wavelength is the frequency. For the particle behavior, according to Planck, the energy of the photon (light particle) is determined as

E = hc/wavelength, where h is the Planck's constant (<span>6.626 x 10-34 J-s per particle) and c is the speed of light ( 3 x 10^8m/s)

As you can see, the energy of the photon is INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL to the wavelength with the Planck's constant as the constant of proportionality.</span>

An iron ball and an aluminum ball of mass 100 g each are heated to the same temperature and then cooled to a temperature of 20°C
Mekhanik [1.2K]
As the temperature changes and their masses are the same, heat lost by the balls is directly proportional to their specific heat values. The heat lost by the aluminum ball is higher implies aluminum has higher specific heat.
