The star Sirius is indeed brighter but our Sun appears to be brighter because it is closer to us.
The intrinsic luminosity of Sirius is exactly 25.4 times more than the sun but if we compare the distances of these stars, Sirius is 8.6 light years away from us and the Sun is just 8 light minutes away from us. This marks the obvious reason why our Sun appears more bright.
Even mathematically, it can be justified as the apparent brightness of any luminous object depends on the inverse square of the distance of that luminous object. Therefore the sun's light energy dominates our sky and we can't see any traces of Sirius from the earth.

The diagram below represents a wave.
What is the speed of the wave if its wavelength is 3.0 m?
The speed of the wave is determined as 18 m/s.
option D is the correct answer.
What is the speed of the wave?
The speed of the wave is the rate of change of wave's displacement with time.
The speed of the wave is calculated by applying the formula relating speed, wavelength and frequency of the wave as shown below.
v = fλ
where;
v is the speed of the wavef is the frequency of the waveλ is the wavelength of the waveThe frequency of the wave is calculated as follows;
f = 1 / T
where;
T is the period of the waveThe period of a wave is the time taken for the wave to complete one cycle.
In the picture given, 3 cycles of the wave = 0.5 s
1 cycle of the wave = ?
= 0.5 s / 3
= 0.16667 s
f = 1 / T
f = 1 / 0.16667
f = 6 Hz
The speed of the wave is calculated as follows;
v = fλ
v = 6 Hz x 3 m
v = 18 m/s
