Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 26EAP
Does It Make Sense?
Decide whether the statement makes sense (or is clearly true) or does not make sense (or is clearly false). Explain clearly; not all of these have definitive answers, so your explanation is more important than your chosen answer.
26. If a distant galaxy has a substantial redshift (as viewed from Earth), then anyone living in that galaxy would see a substantial redshift in a spectrum of the Milky Way Galaxy.

- Answer it correctly please.arrow_forwardWhy don’t we see hydrogen Balmer lines in the spectra of stars with temperatures of 3,200 K? a. There is no hydrogen in stars this cool. b. The stars are hot enough that most of the hydrogen is ionized and the atoms cannot absorb energy. c. These stars are so cool that nearly all of the hydrogen atoms are in the ground state. d. Stars of this temperature are too cool to produce an absorption spectrum. e. Stars of this temperature are too hot to produce an absorption spectrum.arrow_forwardPlease explain the steps to find the answer, which equation you are using and why you are using it.
