How do you know that stars have planets orbiting them?

There are two tools that astronomers use to determine that a far-off star has planets. 1. Occultation: When a planet passes in between the Earth and another star, it is called an "occultation", from the Latin word "occult" or "hidden". The light measurement from the star will be slightly decreased when a planet passes in front of the star. Think of it as a very par away eclipse. This only works for very large planets. 2. Gravitational "wobble": A large planet attracts a star as much as the star attracts the planet, and they both orbit their joint center of gravity. Because the star is so much more massive than the planet, the star only wobbles very slightly, but over long periods it is possible to notice the differences.


Does the astrometric technique of planet detection works best for what kind of planets?

The astrometric technique works best for detecting massive planets that have a significant gravitational influence on their parent stars. It is particularly effective for detecting gas giants or super-Jupiters in wide orbits around their stars. Smaller, rocky planets are more challenging to detect using astrometry due to their lower mass and weaker gravitational effects.

Which number identified by hamming code?

Hamming code is a method used for error detection and correction in digital data transmission. It identifies a number by adding redundant bits to the original data bits, allowing for the detection and correction of single-bit errors. The code works by positioning parity bits at specific intervals and calculating their values based on the binary data. This enables the detection of errors by checking the parity bits against the expected values.


Which error detection method can detect a burst error?

Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) is an effective error detection method that can detect burst errors. It works by applying polynomial division to the data, creating a checksum that is appended to the transmitted data. If a burst error occurs, the CRC will likely fail to match at the receiving end, indicating that errors have occurred. Other methods, like checksums and parity bits, may not be as effective in detecting burst errors.

What is a method that uses sound waves to find objects underwater?

Sonar (Sound Navigation and Ranging) is a method that uses sound waves to find objects underwater. It works by emitting sound pulses and measuring the time it takes for the sound waves to bounce back, allowing for the detection of underwater objects such as submarines, ships, or marine life.
