Answer to Problem 1VSC

Solution:

Approximately 10 times.

Explanation of Solution

EBK THE COSMIC PERSPECTIVE, Chapter 18, Problem 1VSC , additional homework tip  1

The y axis in the plot is in logarithmic scale. Hence, the peak brightness of massive supernova is around EBK THE COSMIC PERSPECTIVE, Chapter 18, Problem 1VSC , additional homework tip  2solar units, while the peak bright ness of white dwarfs is about EBK THE COSMIC PERSPECTIVE, Chapter 18, Problem 1VSC , additional homework tip  3solar 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.
