The shortest wavelengths occur in the:red end of the spectrum
blue end of the spectrum
middle of the spectrum

The light-gathering capacity of a telescope is dependent upon the:
magnification
focal length
size of human iris
area of aperture

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

1) blue end of the spectrum

2) area of aperture

Explanation:

1) The electromagnetic spectrum encompases a wide range of frequency (ν) and wavelength (λ) that includes gamma rays, x-rays, ultra violet(UV), visible, infra red (IR), microwaves and radiowaves. The wavelength increases from gamma rays to radio waves.

The wavelength perceivable by human eyes lies in the UV-visible region which extends from 380 nm in the blue to 740 nm in the red.The shortest wavelengths occur in the blue end of the spectrum which also have the highest energy. In contrast, longer wavelengths occur on the red which have lower energy.

2) The light gathering capacity of a telescope is dependent upon its area of aperture. Larger the area, greater is the light gathering power which implies that the telescope has the capability of detecting weak or faint objects.

The area of the aperture is essentially the area of the objective of the telescopic lens which is given as:

area = (\pi*D^(2)  )/(4)

where D = diameter of the lens
Answer 2
Answer:

1) blue end of the spectrum

2) area of aperture

Why does ionization energy decrease moving down a group in the periodic table?

Answers

Answer:

Electron shielding

Explanation:

Ionization energy decreases moving down a group in the periodic table because of a phenomen known as Electron shielding, in which valence electrons do not interact with the positively charged nucleus as strongly as inner electrons do, because these inner electrons shield the valence electrons. This means it's easier for these valence electrons to leave the atom the more inner electrons are between them and the nucleus, this translates into a decreased ionization energy value.
