Why is it important that the supernovae being observed, which led to the idea of dark energy, are high z (remember z is another name for redshift) supernovae? high z supernovae are always paired with cepheid star systems, so we can calculate their distances. high z supernovae are brighter than regular supernovae. high z means that the supernovae are far enough away for us to detect changes in the expansion rate. high z supernovae have light redshifted enough to see in the visible spectrum with our telescopes.

With the simplified model of the eye, what corrective lens (specified by focal length as measured in air) would be needed to enable a person underwater to focus an infinitely distant object? (be careful-the focal length of a lens underwater is not the same as in air! assume that the corrective lens has a refractive index of 1.62 and that the lens is used in eyeglasses, not goggles, so there is water on both sides of the lens. assume that the eyeglasses are 1.90

Sawyer is studying diffraction. he draws a diagram of a plane wave to show how light waves travel. which best describes sawyer’s error? the wave fronts should be perpendicular to the direction in which the waves move. the arrow showing the direction of movement of the waves should be pointing to the left. the arrow showing the direction of movement of the waves should be pointing downward. the wave fronts should be both parallel and perpendicular to the direction in which the waves move.

Ahypothetical metal has an orthorhombic unit cell for which the a, b, and c lattice parameters are 0.413 nm, 0.665 nm, and 0.876 nm, respectively. (a) if there are 8 atoms per unit cell and the atomic packing factor is 0.536, determine the atomic radius (in nm). (b) if the density is 3.99 g/cm3, calculate the metal's atomic weight (in g/mol).
