Sort The Following Observable Stellar Characteristics With The Correct Star.

s a spectral intensity distribution. Because each star's surface has a characteristic temperature, the resulting spectral intensity distribution approximates that of an ideal blackbody. In the figure, the theoretical blackbody curves for three stars of differing surface temperatures are plotted. Here, the sizes of the idealized stars can be assumed to be equal. Sort the following observable stellar characteristics with the correct star. Drag the appropriate stellar properties to their respective bins.

Star A: 30,000 K -the star appearing the bluest -the star with maximum intensity at UV wavelengths -the star appearing brightest Star B: 10,000 K -the star whose equal intensities measured through yellow (V) and blue (B) filters Star C: 3,000 K -the star with maximum intensity at infrared wavelengths -the star appearing reddest Explanation: Correct Besides displaying different levels of brightness (or magnitudes), stars are known to shine with differing colors. These visual appearances are confirmed by spectroscopic measurements of the stellar intensities as a function of wavelength (or frequency). The redder appearing stars have distributions of intensity that peak in the longer wavelength (red) and even infrared part of the spectrum, while the bluer appearing stars emit most intensely at the shorter (blue) and even ultraviolet wavelengths. The spectral intensity distributions of stars can be reasonably modeled as arising from blackbodies at particular temperatures. Stars showing bluer spectral intensity distributions are consistent with blackbodies of higher temperature, and vice versa.

About the flashcard:

This flashcard is meant to be used for studying, quizzing and learning new information. Many scouting web questions are common questions that are typically seen in the classroom, for homework or on quizzes and tests. Flashcards vary depending on the topic, questions and age group. The cards are meant to be seen as a digital flashcard as they appear double sided, or rather hide the answer giving you the opportunity to think about the question at hand and answer it in your head or on a sheet before revealing the correct answer to yourself or studying partner. Some questions will include multiple choice options to show you the options involved and other questions will just have the questions and corrects answers. Simply reveal the answer when you are ready to check your work. Absolutely no cheating is acceptable.
