Canopus is 313 light years from Earth. How old is the light that we are currently seeing?

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.

If an athlete runs once around a track, back to the starting line, her average velocity is zero. true or false?

What is the thinnest soap film (excluding the case of zero thickness) that appears black when illuminated with light with a wavelength of 480 ? the index of refraction of the film is 1.34, and there is air on both sides of the film. express your answer in nanometers. hint 1. how to approach th
