Question

Answer both parts. Part 1: The closest star to our solar system is Alpha Centauri, which is 4.30 light years away. A spaceship with a constant speed of 0.800 c relative to the Earth travels toward the star. (a) How much time would elapse on a clock on board the spaceship? (b) How much time would elapse on a clock on the Earth? Part 2: What is the surface temperature of a star, given that its radiation peak occurs at a frequency of 1.86 x 1015 Hz?
