A galaxy known to be traveling away from the Earth at 0.650 percent of the speed of light is observed on Earth to have a strong peak in its spectrum at 646.1 nm. However, one small portion of the galaxy (a "dwarf") has a similar observed peak with a wavelength that is 4.64 nm shorter. (This situation is not as strange as it may sound. Several galaxies can be observed to be in the process of collision or merger, such as the Whirlpool Galaxy. Several others, particularly radio galaxies, often exhibit high-speed jets or lobes.) A.) Calculate the wavelength of the light emitted by the bulk of the galaxy.

B.) What is the speed of the dwarf, relative to its "parent" galaxy? (Enter your answer as negative if the dwarf is moving toward Earth relative to the rest of the galaxy.)

Some material consisting of a collection of microscopic objects is kept at a high temperature. a photon detector capable of detecting photon energies from infrared through ultraviolet observes photons emitted with energies of 0.3 ev, 0.5 ev, 0.8 ev, 2.0ev, 2.5ev, and 2.8ev. these are the only photon energies observed. (a) draw and label a possible energy-level diagram for one of the microscopic objects, which has four bound states. on the diagram, indicate the transitions corresponding to the emitted photons. explain briefly. (b) would a spring–mass model be a good model for these microscopic objects? why or why not? (c) the material is now cooled down to a very low temperature, and the photon detector stops detecting photon emissions. next, a beam of light with a continuous range of energies from infrared through ultraviolet shines on the material, and the photon detector observes the beam of light after it passes through the material. what photon energies in this beam of light are observed to be significantly reduced in intensity (“dark absorption lines”)? explain briefly.

While standing outdoors one evening, you are exposed to the following four types of electromagnetic radiation: yellow light from a sodium street lamp, radio waves from an am radio station, radio waves from an fm radio station, and microwaves from an antenna of a communications system. rank these type of waves in terms of increasing photon energy.
