Answer to Problem 1VSC

Solution: Approximately 10 times.

Explanation of Solution

  ESSENTIAL COSMIC PERSPECTIVE - ACCESS CA, Chapter 14, Problem 1VSC

The y axis in the plot is in logarithmic scale. Hence, the peak brightness of massive supernova is around 2×109 solar units, while the peak bright ness of white dwarfs is about 1×1010 solar units. Hence, the brightness of white dwarf supernova is approximately 10 times brighter than the massive star supernova.

Conclusion: The white dwarf supernova is 10 times brighter than massive star supernova.
