A student wants to determine the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, o. The student then measures the 3) luminosity, surface area, and temperature of an object. The temperature of the object is changed several times. The student measures the new temperature and luminosity for each of the new cases. The surface area is assumed to be the same in each case. The data is then plotted to determine the Stefan-Boltzmann constant. The student knows that the relationship between these quantities is given by the Stefan-Boltzmann Law: L= GAT* (19) To determine the Stefan-Boltzmann constant we need to transform the data, that according to the theory will be a 4th degree polynomial, to form a straight line. How do we transform the data so that the graph will be linear? What is the slope of the line? What are the labels for the vertical and horizontal axis of the graph? Hint: Consider how we transformed the data in case 2 from a quadratic to linear.

Please explain the theory also. I need to understand the concept. Thank you in advance. A light of wavelength 620 nm is emitted from 5 Schwarzschild radii from a 20 solar mass black hole. What wavelength is observed for this light by an observer a long distance away? (The objects are not moving with respect to the observer)
Use Wien's Law to calculate the peak wavelength of light coming from the Sun. Assume T=5800 K for the surface temperature of the Sun. Wein's displacement law says that the blackbody temperature and peak wavelength multiplied together give a constant of 0.29 cm-K. (K is degrees Kelvin). Convert the wavelength from part A into a frequency. The product of wavelength and frequency for electromagnetic radiation is a constant, the speed of light (c), 3 x 10^10 cm/s.
The redshift measurements of spectra from magnesium and iron are important in understanding distant galaxies. What are the Kα and Lα wavelengths for magnesium and iron?
In 1999, scientists discovered a new class of black holes with masses 100 to 10,000 times the mass of our sun that occupy less space than our moon. Suppose that one of these black holes has a mass of 1x10^3 suns and a radius equal to one-half the radius of our moon. What is the density of the black hole in g/cm^3? The radius of our sun is 7.0x10^5 km, and it has an average density of 1.4x10^3 kg/m^3. The diameter of the moon is 2.16x10^3 miles.
The three most prominent spectral lines of hydrogen are H-α at 656 nm, H-β at 486 nm, and H-γ 434 nm. If we observe an object with H-α at a wavelength of 700 nm, what wavelength will we observe H-β and H-γ? Is the object moving toward or away from us, and how do you know? Suppose we observe another object with H-α at 585 nm. Is this object moving toward or away from us? Is it moving slower or faster than the first object?
I am unsure where f3 should go from the black dot and the length/direction should it be?
