Telescopes have aided scientists a lot in determining whether a star is binary or not. The visual binaries can be seen through a telescope or even high powered binoculars. Observing the spectral light of a star can aid in determining whether it is binary. Eclipsing binaries give themselves away by the variability of their light.

What state is 40 degrees N 83 degrees W?

It's not actually possible for a whole state to be at one point. That particular point is about 400-ft northeast of the intersection of Summit St and E 15th Ave in Columbus, Ohio.


What is the saturation point of light in a chloroplast?

The saturation point of light in a chloroplast is the point wherein rate of carbon production can no longer rise. It describes the amount of light that is beyond the capability of the chloroplast to absorb.

If time travel was possible could you in the distant future move several light years in a space by traveling close to the speed of light and than traveling backwards through time at regular intervals?

Indeed, time travel, and travelling faster than the speed of light, are intimately related in the Special Theory of Relativity. Looking at the situation from the other side, if it were possible to travel faster than light, then from some point of view, you would be travelling backwards in time. For more details, read about the definition of "simultaneity" in the Special Theory of Relativity.Probably none of the two is possible - travelling backwards in time, and travelling faster than light.Indeed, time travel, and travelling faster than the speed of light, are intimately related in the Special Theory of Relativity.

Which optical instrument produce virtual image?

A magnifying glass or a diverging lens can produce a virtual image. This type of image is formed when light rays diverge and appear to come from a point behind the optical device, rather than actually converging to a real point.


What is the name of the Image formed when light rays actually meet?

The image formed when light rays actually meet is called a real image. This type of image can be projected onto a screen and is formed when the rays of light actually converge at a point.

At what point does time stop at the speed of light?

Time does not stop at the speed of light; rather, time appears to slow down for an object moving at the speed of light relative to an observer.


What type of image forms where light rays don't meet but actually only appear to meet?

A virtual image is formed when light rays appear to meet at a point, but do not actually converge at that point. This type of image is formed in locations where the rays are not physically intersecting.

How do CFLs work?

A compact fluorescent lamp rather than producing light by creating heat (i.e. like an incandescent light source), produces light by exciting mercury vapor inside the bulb's glass envelope. The initial excitation of gas is not enough to produce visible light (at this point it is actually UV light), the light produced is only visible once it passes through the phosphor coating on the inside of the bulb.
