Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 33, Problem 9TE
Solution
To determine: The reason for the color of a star tells a person about the star.
Answer:
The color of a star tells a person about the star's surface temperature operating and the type of
Explanation:
The color of the star is mainly because of the radiation coming from the star. The star produces different radiation on a different temperature scale.
Each type of radiation has different color characteristics. The type of radiation can be easily determined by the help of color characteristics. This means that the star will possess a different color if there is a different surface temperature of the star.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the color of a star tells a person about the star's surface temperature operating and the type of radiation coming from the star.
