Question

You observe two stars in the night sky. Star A has a surface temperature of 10,000 K. Star B has a surface temperature of 2,500 K. a. What is the peak wavelength of the blackbody radiation emitted by each star? (2 points) b. In what portion of the electromagnetic spectrum (e.g. X-ray, Visible, Radio, etc.) does each star's peak wavelength of blackbody radiation fall? What color do you think they'd appear to human eyes? Explain. (2 points) c. Star B has a radius four times that of Star A. You can assume the stars are spherical in shape. What is the ratio of the intrinsic energy per unit time emitted by Star A to that of Star B. (2 points)
