Describe the feasibility in the near future of determining whether the atmosphere of an exoplanet contains oxygen by means of: infrared and visible spectroscopy (3-4 sencentes)

Expert Solution

Yes ,it will definitely be feasible for an austronomer or a scientist to determine whether the atmosphere of an exoplanet contains oxygen by means of infrared and visible spectroscopy.

REASON: Ofcourse it is difficult to determine the composition of an atmosphere, but whenever light is observed from an object that light can measured to determine what has been filtered out of it.

Using spectrometer (infrared and visible spectroscopy) ,when an observed spectrun of light by a body or an object is spread it can be observed like a barcode.The missing spaces of barcode i.e light spectrum shows what elementa are present in the atmosphere.
For example,when we consider earths visbile spectrum there would be missing the frequencies that correlate to nitrogen, oxygen and argon would be missing, as those compose Earth’s atmosphere (78%, 21%, and 1%, respectively).

This is how in near future there is feasibilty of determing the oxygen content in exoplanets atmosphere

the decision-clique problem is the problem of determining whether a graph G contains a clique of at least a given size k. This problem is NP-complete. Professor Bartlett has designed an algorithm that can take any graph G with n vertices and determine in O(nk ) time whether or not G contains a clique of size k. Has Professor Bartlett showed that P = NP? Explain your answer.
