After analyzing the spectrum of a distant galaxy, an astronomer identifies a spectral line as being CaII (singly ionized Calcium) with a measured wavelength of 410.0 nm. The true, rest wavelength of this spectral line, measured in a lab, is 393.3 nm. a) What would be this galaxy’s recessional velocity, in km/s? b) Using a Hubble constant of H0 = 70 km/s/Mpc, calculate the distance to this cluster. Give your answer in megaparsecs and in light-years. c) How would your...

Explain the spectral differences between the spinach and the Cordyline fruticose leaves. What determines the leaf color in plants? Provide a structure and of the molecule and explain why green is the predominant color. Why do deciduous trees change color in the fall (biochemical explanation). Provide a molecule responsible for yellow and one for red color. Why are these molecules necessary in addition to the chlorophyll?

Explain why the temperature of star is related to the broadening of a spectral line from the star and if a broader spectral line indicates a cooler or hotter star.

Doppler spectral line broadening is caused by the fact that the velocity of atoms or molecules...

Doppler spectral line broadening is caused by the fact that the velocity of atoms or molecules relative to the observer follows a Maxwell distribution. The effect is dependent on temperature. Hence it serves as a thermometer to determine the temperature of hot gases, such as in distant stars as well as the relative motion of the light source (away or approaching) the Earth observer. Derive the distribution of the intensity of spectral line and show how the line width is...

3. For a solar cell, n-Si is given to have a refractive index of 3.435. The average power incident (Pin) is 92.5 mW/cm2. (a). Evaluate the surface reflection loss of the silicon solar cell. (b). Design an antireflection coating to eliminate the loss for light with 0.64 μm wavelength (provide index and thickness of this coating).
