At what wavelength would a star radiate the greatest amount of energy if the star has a surface temperature of 60,000 K?   a. 50 nm   b. 500 nm   c. 300 nm   d. 1.8 × 1011 nm   e. 180 nm
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.)
At rest hydrogen has a spectrum line at 143nm if this line is observed at 138nm for the star Sirius, how fast is Sirius moving in km/s?
