If the spectrum of a star is blue shifted, which way is the star moving?

Classify the following soils according to the uscs classification system. provide appropriate uscs designations. a) this sample of well-graded gravel with sand was obtained from a large earthen dam in vancouver, canada. the sample has 73% fine to coarse sub-angular gravel, 25% fine to coarse sub-angular sand and 2% fines. the maximum size of the particles is 75 mm. the coefficient of curvature is 2.7, while the uniformity coefficient is 12.4. b) this dark brown and wet soil with a “strong organic odor” has 100% passing the no. 200 sieve. the liquid limit of the material is 32% when not dried and is 21% when oven-dried. the plastic index is 21% when not dried. c) this sand has 61% predominantly fine sand, 23% silty fines, and 16% fine sub-rounded gravel size. the maximum size is 20 mm. the liquid limit is 33% and the plastic limit is 27%. d) this soil has 74% fine to coarse sub-angular reddish sand and 26% organic and silty dark brown fines. the liquid limit is 37% when not dried and is 26% when oven dried. the plastic index is 6% when not dried.

Alinearly polarized electromagnetic wave has an average intensity of 196 w/m^2. this wave is directed towards two ideal polarizers (in real polarizers, transmission is also effected by reflection and absorption). polarizer a is oriented with its transmission axis at an angle of θ_1=20.8∘ with the incident electric field. polarizer b has its axis at an angle of θ_2=63.0∘ with the incident electric field. what is the average intensity of the wave after it passes through polarizer a? what is the average intensity of the wave after it passes through polarizer b? suppose that the two polarizers a and b are interchanged. what would the average intensity be after passing through both polarizers?
