- Parallax To find the distance to nearby stars, the method of parallax is used. The idea is to find a triangle with the star at one vertex and with a base as large as possible. To do this, the star is observed at two different times exactly 6 months apart, and its apparent change in position is recorded. From these two observations E1SE2 can be calculated. The times are chosen so that E1SE2 is as large as possible, which guarantees that E1OS is 90. The angle E1SO is called the parallax of the star. Alpha Centauri, the star nearest the earth, has a parallax of 0.000211. Estimate the distance to this star. Take the distance from the earth to the sun to be 9.3107 miarrow_forwardVibrating String When a violin string vibrates, the sound produced results from a combination of standing waves that have evenly placed nodes.
