Stellar evolution
We may see thousands of stars in the dark sky. Our universe consists of billions of stars. Stars may appear tiny to us but they are huge balls of gasses. Sun is a star of average size. Some stars are even a thousand times larger than the sun. The stars do not exist forever they have a certain lifetime. The life span of the sun is about 10 billion years. The star undergoes various changes during its lifetime, this process is called stellar evolution. The structure of the sun-like star is shown below.
Red Shift
It is an astronomical phenomenon. In this phenomenon, increase in wavelength with corresponding decrease in photon energy and frequency of radiation of light. It is the displacement of spectrum of any kind of astronomical object to the longer wavelengths (red) side.
Here, while using the Vernier scale, we need to look up both the Vernier scale and the main scale readings. The Vernier scale can read to 0.05 mm.
As we can see, the 0 mark on the Vernier scale is between 4.4 and 4.5 as per the main scale.
Thus the main scale is taken as 4.4 cm.
Again, looking closely on the marks of the Vernier scale, we observe that the 6th mark on the Vernier scale aligns with a mark on the main scale. Thus, the reading is 0.06 cm
