Question
Chapter 37, Problem 1Q
To determine
The relative temperatures of stars
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1Q
The reddish star is coolest, bluish star is hottest and whitish-yellow star temperature is greater than reddish star and lesser than bluish star.
Explanation of Solution
Color of the star determines its temperatures. Since, the temperature is related to the frequency of the emitted light, the light with greater frequency has greater temperature and the light with lesser frequency has lesser temperature.
Among red, whitish-yellow, and blue color, red color is at the lowest frequency, followed by a whitish-yellow. Blue color is at highest frequency. Therefore, the reddish star is coolest, bluish star is hottest and whitish-yellow star temperature is greater than reddish star and lesser than bluish star.
Conclusion:
Therefore, hottest star among the three is bluish star, the coolest is reddish star, and the whitish- yellow star is in between the bluish and reddish star.

What is the error determined by the 2/3 rule?
Your colleague gives you a sample that are supposed to consist of Pt-Ni
nanoparticles, TiO2 nanorod arrays, and SiO2 monolith plates (see right panel
schematic). The bimetallic Pt-Ni nanoparticles are expected to decorate on
the side surfaces of the aligned TiO2 nanorod arrays. These aligned TiO2
nanoarrays grew on the flat SiO2 monolith. Let's assume that the sizes of the
Pt-Ni nanoparticles are > 10 nm. We further assume that you have access to
a modern SEM that can produce a probe size as small as 1 nm with a current
as high as 1 nA. You are not expected to damage/destroy the sample. Hint:
keep your answers concise and to the point.
