  • a shorter average wavelength
  • above Earth's atmosphere.

The Hubble Space Telescope obtains higher-resolution images than most ground-based telescopes because it is:

  • The cloud is cool and lies between you and a hot star.
  • a shorter average wavelength
  • chemical composition.
A star whose spectrum peaks in the infrared is:
  • above Earth's atmosphere.
  • cooler than our Sun.
  • chemical composition.
  • a shorter average wavelength
Which of the following conditions lead you to see an absorption line spectrum from a cloud of gas in interstellar space?
  • above Earth's atmosphere.
  • higher energy and shorter wavelength than red light.
  • The cloud is cool and lies between you and a hot star.
  • gamma rays, X rays, ultraviolet, visible light, infrared, radio
Studying a spectrum from a star can tell us a lot, such as?
  • 1)We can identify chemical elements present in the star by recognizing patterns of spectral lines that correspond to particular chemicals, 2)The peak of the star's thermal emission tells us its temperature: hotter stars peak at shorter (bluer) wavelengths, AND 3)Shifts in the wavelengths of spectral lines compared to the wavelengths of those same lines measured in a laboratory on Earth can tell us the star's speed toward or away from us.
  • 1) X-rays have shorter wavelengths than radio waves, 2) X-rays have higher frequency than radio waves, AND 3) X-rays and radio waves are both forms of light, or electromagnetic radiation.
  • X-rays do not penetrate Earth's atmosphere.
  • chemical composition.
What statements about X-rays and radio waves are true?
  • 1) X-rays have shorter wavelengths than radio waves, 2) X-rays have higher frequency than radio waves, AND 3) X-rays and radio waves are both forms of light, or electromagnetic radiation.
  • a shorter average wavelength
  • X-rays do not penetrate Earth's atmosphere.

From shortest to longest wavelength, which of the following correctly orders the different categories of electromagnetic radiation?
  • above Earth's atmosphere.
  • higher energy and shorter wavelength than red light.
  • gamma rays, X rays, ultraviolet, visible light, infrared, radio
  • The cloud is cool and lies between you and a hot star.
The set of spectral lines that we see in a star's spectrum depends on the star's:
  • a shorter average wavelength
  • The cloud is cool and lies between you and a hot star.
  • chemical composition.
  • above Earth's atmosphere.
Blue light has higher frequency than red light. Thus, blue light has:
  • The cloud is cool and lies between you and a hot star.
  • a shorter average wavelength
  • X-rays do not penetrate Earth's atmosphere.
  • higher energy and shorter wavelength than red light.
