Question
It is known that galaxies A and B are very similar to each other. Galaxy B appears 25 times fainter than galaxy A. Assuming that there are no other fading effects in the universe;The recommended time to answer this question is 5 minutes.Soru 12Yanıtgalaxy B is 3 times further away from galaxy A.galaxy B is 4 times further away from galaxy A.galaxy B is 5 times further away from galaxy A.galaxy B is 6 times further away from galaxy A.galaxy B is 7 times further away from galaxy A.
Solution
The brightness of a galaxy is inversely proportional to the square of its distance from the observer. This is known as the inverse square law. If galaxy B appears 25 times fainter than galaxy A, it means that it is √25 = 5 times further away. So, galaxy B is 5 times further away from galaxy A.
