If the color of the sun's photosphere's maximum intensity light is green, is this the color we normally observe for the photosphere? Why or why not? (I would assume it is not, but I do not know why...)
Suppose YOUR body temperature averages 98.6 F. 1. How much radiant energy in Wm^-2 is emitted from YOUR body? 2. What is the total radiant energy in W that is emitted from YOUR body? 3. At what wavelength does YOUR body emit the largest amount of radiant energy?
Do you think that nuclear fusion takes place in the atmospheres of stars? Why or why not?
Make a sketch of the Sun’s atmosphere showing the locations of the photosphere, chromosphere, and corona. What is the approximate temperature of each of these regions?
The greenhouse effect can be explained easily if you understand the laws of blackbody radiation. A greenhouse gas blocks the transmission of infrared light. Given that the incoming light to Earth is sunlight with a characteristic temperature of 5800 K (which peaks in the visible part of the spectrum) and the outgoing light from Earth has a characteristic temperature of about 300 K (which peaks in the infrared part of the spectrum), explain how greenhouse gases cause Earth to warm up. As part of your answer, discuss that greenhouse gases block both incoming and outgoing infrared light. Explain why these two effects don’t simply cancel each other, leading to no net temperature change.
Our sun is a standard sequence yellow dwarf star with a temperature of about 6000 K and a radius of about 7 x 10^8 m, emitting about 3.8 x 10^26 W. There are yellow giant stars with the same blackbody color (temperature) but with a radius 10 times larger than our sun (7 x 10^9 m). Estimate the power (emitted radiation) from one of these yellow giant stars. (Hint: how much larger is the surface area of the yellow giant star, and pay careful attention to the power of 10 below.)
Suppose a certain star has a temperature of 10,000 Kelvins (K). It will emit light of many different wavelengths. But which wavelength of light will it emit the most of? Also: It is much hotter than the Sun. Do you think this star will appear redder in color than the Sun, or more blue?
I asked this question already but the answer was wrong and I couldn't follow along with the work so I was hoping you could try again A Sun-like star has a power output of 3.1·1026 W with 87.3% of this energy supplied by the proton-proton chain. How many protons are consumed per second in the core of this star?
How many watts of radiation does a 1-meter square region of the Sun's photosphere emit at a temperature of 500 K ? How much would the wattage increase if the temperature was doubled?
Explain how we use spectral absorption and emission lines to determine the composition of a gas.
What it the Zeeman effect and what does it tell us about the Sun?
From the information in Figure 15.21, estimate the speed with which the particles in the CME in parts (c) and (d) are moving away from the Sun. Figure 15.21 Flare and Coronal Mass Ejection. This sequence of four images shows the evolution over time of a giant eruption on the Sun. (a) The event began at the location of a sunspot group, and (b) a flare is seen in far-ultraviolet light. (c) Fourteen hours later, a CME is seen blasting out into space. (d) Three hours later, this CME has expanded to form a giant cloud of particles escaping from the Sun and is beginning the journey out into the solar system. The white circle in (c) and (d) shows the diameter of the solar photosphere. The larger dark area shows where light from the Sun has been blocked out by a specially designed instrument to make it possible to see the faint emission from the corona.
