True

False

Explanation / Answer

1 ans

true a orbital inclination of the abserver approaches 90 degrees the amplitude of the radical velocity function approaches a minimum

2 ans

true the eclipse due to the earth sized planet passing infront of a sun sized star takes an amount of time that is of a simmilar size to the orbital period

3 ans

a planet with a larger major axis results in a shorter eclispse

4 ans

false because as the semimajor axis of the planet is increased the a oradical velocity function decreases

5 ans

true basing on the debrogle uncertainty principle

6 ans

false because as mass of the sun is increased the amplitude of the radical velocity function increases

7 ans

true basing on the gravity

the amplitude of the radical velocity curve increases as the mass increases

8 ans

true

the shape of the the radical velocity curve is dependent on the mass of the planet

9 ans

false

changing the longitidue of the observer does not effect the radical velocity function

10 ans

a more massive star results in a Less pronounced eclipse
