The brightest star in the sky is Sirius, the Dog Star. Itis actually a binary system of two stars, the smaller one (Sirius B)being a white dwarf. Spectral analysis of Sirius B indicates that itssurface temperature is 24 000 K and that it radiates energy at a totalrate of 1.0 · 1025 W. Assume that it behaves like an ideal blackbody.(a) What is the radius of Sirius B? Express your answer in kilometersand as a fraction of our Sun’s radius (R= 6.96 · 108 m). (b) Whichstar radiates more total energy per second, the hot Sirius B or the(relatively) cool Sun with a surface temperature of T = 5800 K? Tofind out, calculate the ratio of the total power radiated by our Sun tothe power radiated by Sirius B.
Now you have a nucleus with 17 protons at x = 5.8 Angstroms on the x-axis. How much work would it take to bring in ANOTHER nucleus with 14 protons from 1 m away and place it at y = 8.0 Angstroms on the y-axis?
Estimate the temperature that the surface of the sun would have to be in order to find equal populations of neutral hydrogen atoms and protons at the surface.
